Sandefjord, Recent FormWith Fredrikstad sitting a clear 9 places above them in the table, Sandefjord won't feel totally dejected with their 1-0 away defeat by them last time out. They came away from that fixture with 63% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Fredrikstad managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 4 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Molde, Recent FormMolde head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 home win against Haugesund in their last league encounter. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Haugesund's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Erling Moe will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 17 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games away from home.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Kristian Eriksen will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Molde.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
