They had 16 and 6 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while in their last match, Molde recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Brann. Kristian Eriksen struck first for Molde in the 12th minute on a feed from Emil Breivik, then Veton Berisha added another in the 5th minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a feed from Emil Breivik At the end of 90 a dissapointed Brann couldn’t manage to score, and Molde took the shutout win. Molde is on a hot streak lately, having won 7 of their last 10.
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.
