Molde is performing significantly better this season, occupying 3rd place in the table with a record of 1 win in one match and zero goals conceded.

Both teams have identical form in their last 5 matches (1.8 points per match), however, Molde demonstrates greater goal efficiency in this period (9 goals scored compared to Viking's 11, but with a better defense – 3 conceded versus 5). Considering Molde's higher table position, superior goal difference, and solid defense, the visitors hold the advantage in this clash.
