In this 8th week match, on Mon May 29th, Molde and Sandefjord will play a match in Molde in a clash of the Eliteserien. 8th placed Molde is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Aalesund. Moses Ebiye scored the first goal for Aalesund in the 40th minute on a penalty kick, then Isaac Atanga added another in the 57th minute on a feed from Alexander Juel Andersen. Molde is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Sandefjord recorded a 0-1 loss against Strømsgodset. Hanssen struck first for Strømsgodset in the 42nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Sandefjord couldn’t muster any offence and Strømsgodset ran away with the shutout win. Sandefjord looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Molde won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Bikoro and Youssef Chaib are the top scorers for Sandefjord in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Molde’s top weapon lately has been Sivert Mannsverk, who has 3 goals in the last five matches.
