Molde – Start

Molde head into the fixture as the league’s third‑placed side, buoyed by 36 points from 11 wins, three draws and six defeats and a comfortable +13 goal difference (43‑30). Their opponents, Start, sit down in 16th place with just 16 points after four victories, four draws and twelve losses, and a -19 goal gap (22‑41). The gap of 20 points and a stark contrast in form suggest Molde will look to extend their push for the top spots, while Start will be desperate for a rare win to climb out of the relegation zone. Their head‑to‑head record this season will likely favor the hosts, who have the firepower and consistency that Start have lacked all campaign.
