Molde are not playing well this season in the Norwegian Eliteserien as they are currently fourth on the table with ten points fewer than the league leader Bodo/Glimt. However, Molde have been impressive in the Europa League qualifications, so they are one step far from reaching the group phase.
Molde's form is shaky, as they won only three of the last eight matches in all competitions. The last match for Molde was last Thursday when they lost 1-0 on the road against Cercle Brugge. Erling Moe's team lost that game, but that will not affect Molde's confidence as they progressed to the next round, even with defeat.
Elfsborg have a poor season in the domestic league, too. Currently, they are seventh on the table with 29 from 19 matches. However, Elfsborg should feel great about themself as they lost only one of the last twelve matches in all competitions. Last weekend, they played 1-1 on the road against Mjallby. The home side finished the game with 63% ball possession and eight shots on the goal, but Elfsborg defended well, so the teams split the points.
Molde vs Elfsborg pick: Over 2.5 goals
There were at least three goals in three of the last four Molde matches. On the other hand, Elfsborg scored at least one goal in each of the previous 12 games. We should expect at least three goals in the upcoming tie between Molde and Elfsborg.

Molde team news
On Monday, Molde signed central midfielder Mads Enggaard from Randers for 2.7 million euros. This season, the 20-year-old Engaard scored one goal in four league appearances for Randers. However, it is unlikely that Mads will debut on Thursday against Elfsborg.
Veton Berisha and Fredrik Gulbrandsen are injured and will not play in the upcoming tie.

Elfsborg team news
Elfsborg signed forward Emil Holten from Esbjerg last week. Holten is far from the best Elfsborg striker, so we shouldn't expect him to have a large role in the rest of the season in the Swedish club.
Elfsborg doesn't have any missing players right now.
