In a weekend match on Sat Oct 1st, in week 24, Tromsø will play host to Molde in a meeting of these two mismatched Eliteserien teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 4 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Tromsø is fresh off their 2-2 draw against Viking. Rolf Daniel Vikstol struck first for Viking in the 12th minute on a feed from Naatan Skyttä, then Christophe Psyche tied it up for Tromsø in the 48th minute . Tromsø should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 1st placed Molde, recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Aalesund. Ola Brynhildsen scored the first goal for Molde in the 24th minute, then Marcus Andre Kaasa added another in the 85th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Aalesund couldn’t manage to score, and Molde took the shutout win. Molde is on a hot streak lately, having won 10 of their last 10.
In their last match together, Molde won by a score of 5 to 1. Eric Bugale Kitolano scored the first goal for Tromsø in the 7th minute, then Erling Knudtzon tied it up for Molde in the 16th minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 20th minute on a goal by Kristoffer Haugen to cap off a wild match.
Molde has been fortunate! In the last five matches, both Marcus Andre Kaasa and Ola Brynhildsen are on scoring streaks. They have each scored 4 goals for Molde and look to continue their dominance.. Mikkelsen has been the most prolific scorer on Tromsø in his last 5 matches with three goals.
