Molde – Start

Molde and Start have met 2 times down the years, and the overall balance favours Molde, who have won 1 of those games to 0, with 1 finishing level. On paper it is a fixture with a clear favourite, yet many of the meetings have been decided by the finest of margins. Goals have rarely been in short supply. These games produce 4.5 on average, with 50% of the meetings bringing three or more, and both teams have found the net in 100% of them, which points to an open contest more often than a cagey one. Where the game is played has mattered. Molde hold 1-0-0 as hosts in this fixture, and Start show 0-1-0 at home, underlining how much home comfort can tilt an otherwise close rivalry one way or the other. Recent weeks help frame expectations. Molde bring 3 wins from their past 5 and 3.8 goals per game, with Start on 2 wins from 5 and 1.2 a game, a snapshot that may count for as much here as the long-term record. Broken down, that leaves Molde winning around 50% of the time, 50% ending level and Start on about 0%. The balance gives one side the edge, but enough draws and surprises to keep it interesting. The last time these teams met, on 18.10.2026, the game ended Molde 6–1 Start, and that scoreline still shapes how the fixture is viewed. A new date is yet to be confirmed, leaving that result as the freshest reference point.
