Molde FK vs Sarpsborg Prediction and Betting Tips | July 22, 2023

Round 15 of the Norwegian Eliteserien gets underway when Molde and Sarpsborg go head to head at the Aker Stadion on Saturday.

The Bla-hvit head into the weekend on a run of four wins against the visitors and will look to continue in the same vein. Molde maintained their fine run of results as they thrashed Valerenga 4-0 at the Intility Arena last Saturday.

Erling Moe’s side have now won five of their last six matches across competitions, including a 3-1 win over Sarpsborg in the NM Cup quarterfinals on July 12. With 26 points from 15 games, Molde are fifth in the Eliteserien, level on points with sixth-placed Lillestrom.

Meanwhile, Sarpsborg failed to stop the rot last time out, as they suffered a disappointing 3-2 home defeat against HamKam. Stefan Billborn’s men have now lost their last three games, conceding a staggering 11 goals since their 6-1 win over Sandefjord on July 2.

Sarpsborg ate seventh in the standings, picking up 21 points from 14 games.

Molde will be licking their lips against an out-of-sorts Sarpsborg side who have lost their last three games. The Bla-hvit have been utterly dominant at home and should pick up an eighth straight win in front of their fans.
