Molde – Fredrikstad

Molde host Fredrikstad at Aker Stadion with the third‑placed side looking to extend their strong season, currently sitting on 40 points from 12 wins, four draws and seven defeats while boasting a +17 goal difference (52‑35). Fredrikstad, seventh in the table with 29 points after eight victories, five draws and ten losses, will need to overturn a -8 goal margin (28‑36) to climb back into the top half. The home team’s recent form suggests they have the firepower to keep the pressure on, whereas the visitors will be hoping their solid defensive record can blunt Molde’s attacks. A win for Molde could widen the gap to the leaders, while a point for Fredrikstad would keep their push for a higher finish alive.
