Molde vs Odd Prediction: Can Molde continue their winning streak?

Molde and Odds will battle at the Aker Stadion on Wednesday. Molde have won all their 3 games this season. Can they continue their winning streak? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Molde

Molde have had an impressive start to the season, winning all three of their matches while also keeping clean sheets in each game. In their recent match against Kristiansund, goals from Ohi Omoijuanfo in the first half and Kristoffer Haugen early in the second half secured victory for Molde. They dominated the game with 7 shots on target and limited their opponents to none.

Unfortunately, Veton Berisha remains sidelined due to a muscle injury and will miss the upcoming match. Fredrik Gulbrandsen is also unavailable due to a knee injury. Despite these absences, key players like Kristoffer Eriksen and Magnus Wolff Eikrem, who have contributed three goals between them this season, are expected to lead Molde's attack. Eirik Hestad will also retain his place in midfield, maintaining Molde's strong presence in the engine room.

Odd

Odd started their season with a defeat against Haugesund but bounced back with a win over Sarpsborg in their second match. Their last game ended in a 2-2 draw against Sandefjord, where they needed a stoppage-time goal from Syver Aas to salvage a point. Despite this, they only managed 45% possession during the match.

Unfortunately, Odd will be missing several key players due to injuries this week, including Sondre Solholm (cruciate ligament), Zakaria Mugeese (ankle), Steffen Hagen (knee), and Torgeir Børven (groin). In their absence, Bork Bang-Kittilsen is expected to lead the attack after scoring his first goal of the campaign in the last match. Jesper Svenungsen Skau is also pushing for a starting role in midfield.

Possible Starting 11

Molde – Jacob Karlstroem, Casper Oeyvann, Anders Hagelskjaer, Isak Helstad Amundsen, Martin Linnes, Eirik Hestad, Mats Moeller Daehli, Emil Breivik, Halldor Stenevik, Kristian Eriksen, Magnus Wolff Eikrem.

Odd – Andre Hansen, Espen Ruud, Mihajlo Ivancevic, Tony Miettinen, Josef Brian Baccay, Filip Roenningen Joergensen, Solomon Owusu, Tobias Hammer Svendsen, Bork Classoenn Bang-Kittilsen, Mikael Ingebrigtsen, Faniel Temesgen Tewelde.

Expert Betting Tips

Molde have started this season impressively, winning all three opening games and scoring a total of 7 goals in the process. However, they have struggled defensively against Odds in recent encounters, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last four meetings. Given this trend, I expect their defensive challenges to continue in this upcoming match against Odd.
