KFUM vs Molde prediction 26.07.2026 | Eliteserien

After 2025, when KFUM barely escaped relegation, staying away from the drop zone is the team's primary goal. However, after only 12 points in the first 13 Eliteserien games, KFUM are barely over the line, and it is clear that they will have a difficult and maybe even painful season. KFUM Oslo have been terrible lately, with only one victory in the last seven matches. In the most recent outing, they lost 2-1 on the road against Lillestrom. The hosts ended with an xG of 1.42, while the guests had only 0.33, so it is no wonder KFUM remained empty-handed again.

KFUM's head coach, Jorgen Isnes, was disappointed after a defeat in the previous Eliteserien round. He said, "The way we finished the game leaves a terrible taste, and I obviously take my share of the responsibility for that, if you can call it that. We brought on a few players, but some of them didn't get into the right positions, and we weren't able to put any pressure on Lillestrom towards the end. All in all, it was another game where we took the lead but should have managed it much better as the match went on."

KFUM have some problems with missing players. They will be without Ayoub Aleesami and Magnus Eikrem, while Frederik Berglie and Moussa Njie are questionable.

Last season, Molde ended 10th in Eliteserien. Since then, they have invested heavily and are expected to return among the best teams in the country. However, after 13 league rounds, Molde seems some way off, and they will have to do much better to secure a return to at least the Conference League. Sindre Tjelmeland's team has been terrible since the World Cup break, with only one point in two matches. In the previous game, Molde lost 2-1 at home against Brann.

After a defeat in the previous game, Molde's head coach, Sindre Tjelmeland, was expectedly disappointed. He said, "We had a great crowd in the stands and we were up against a good opponent, but unfortunately we weren't able to live up to the occasion, especially in the first half. I think the second half was much better. We looked more like ourselves, our pressing worked better, and we managed to establish sustained pressure on them for longer periods. We probably should have scored earlier. We lacked a bit of quality in the final third and in our decision-making, but we still did enough in the second half to deserve at least a point.

Fredrik Dahl and Mads Kikkenborg are injured and will not play on Sunday afternoon. Also, Martin Linnes is questionable.
