One of Norwegian football's fiercest regional rivalries takes centre stage on Saturday as Aalesund welcome neighbours Molde in Round 13 of the 2026 Eliteserien season. Although separated by just over 80 kilometres, the clubs have experienced contrasting starts to the campaign. Newly-promoted Aalesund have shown enough quality to remain competitive but continue to battle in the lower half of the table, while Molde are once again targeting European qualification and remain firmly in contention near the top of the standings.

Molde
Eliteserien
It has been over three years since these two clubs last met in a competitive league fixture. Molde have won six of their last seven Eliteserien meetings with Aalesund and were also the superior side in a convincing 4-1 victory in a friendly earlier this year.
Aalesund team overview
Aalesund have experienced the expected ups and downs of life back in the Eliteserien following promotion. While consistency has been difficult to achieve, they have shown encouraging attacking signs, particularly at home, where they have scored at least twice in four of their last six league matches and have managed to avoid defeat in four out of six home encounters.
Forward Kristian Hemmingsen Lonebu has emerged as the club's main attacking threat, already scoring five league goals this season, placing him among the division's leading scorers.
Defensively, Aalesund have found life considerably tougher against the league's stronger sides and will once again have to cope with several injury concerns. Goalkeeper Jonas Seehusen, defender Pål Aukland, midfielder Magnus Kristensen and striker Peder Ngongo Iversen are all listed as unavailable or doubtful ahead of the derby, limiting the hosts' squad depth.

Molde team overview
Molde entered the season with renewed optimism under Sindre Tjelmeland and have once again established themselves among the league's strongest teams. They have struggled somewhat for consistency, losing two of their last six league matches. Nevertheless, four victories in the remaining fixtures have more than compensated for those setbacks.
Midfielder Emil Breivik has been outstanding during the opening months of the campaign, leading the Eliteserien scoring charts with five league goals while also dictating play from midfield.
Molde's only significant absentee appears to be midfielder Daniel Daga, while the remainder of the squad is close to full strength.

Prediction
Molde possess greater quality across virtually every area of the pitch, boast an outstanding recent record in this fixture, and have the individual match-winners capable of deciding tight contests. However, their away form has been way below average this season, with just one win from their last six league matches on the road, which should give Aalesund a chance of taking something from this game.
Prediction: Aalesund to Win or Draw (Double chance 1X).
Three reasons we expect Double chance 1X
- Molde have failed to secure a win in five of their last six Eliteserien away fixtures.
- Aalesun have not been beaten in four consecutive league home fixtures.
- Molde have lost back-to-back away matches (0-2 vs Tromso and 1-2 vs Sarpsborg).
