Molde will be looking to keep alive their hopes of winning the Norwegian top flight for the second time in three years when they host Odds Ballklub.
The hosts failed to defend their 2022 title last season but they have looked like champions in the three games played so far this campaign. Erling Moe’s side boast three wins from their three outings played so far and kept a clean sheet in all three encounters. Having also won their last meeting with Odd 4-1, they will fancy themselves to register another win on Wednesday evening.
Odds Ballklub meanwhile started their campaign slowly, suffering a 1-2 defeat to Haugesund but they responded well with a win over Sarpsborg on matchday two. Last time out, Kenneth Dokken’s side needed a stoppage time goal from Syver Aas to secure a point and will face a much difficult task on Wednesday.
Betting Tips Molde vs Odds Ballklub: Over 2.5 goals
Molde have been very good defensively of late but they don’t have a good defensive record against Odds. The Blue Rascals failed to keep a clean sheet in each of the last four meetings between these two sides and I expect that run to be extended here.
Speaking of weaknesses in defence, Odds Ballklub have been far from being good defensively in recent months. Kenneth Dokken’s men enter Wednesday’s game with just one clean sheet from their last even fixtures and bets on over 2.5 goals were lost only twice in that spell.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Molde vs Odds Ballklub prediction: 2-1

Molde team news
Veton Berisha has missed the last five games due to a muscle injury and Wednesday’s game will come too soon for the forward.
Molde’s list of absentees also includes Fredrik Gulbrandsen who is nursing a knee injury, but head coach Erling Moe has no suspensions.
Kristian Eriksen and Magnus Wolff Eikrem who have three goals between them so far this season are expected to reunite in the final third, while Eirik Hestad will keep his place in the engine room.
