Molde returned to winning ways with a 6-1 win over Fredrikstad in their last game. They had 61% possession of the ball in the game and 25 shots, of which 21 were on target. Before the win, they had suffered a 2-1 loss to Molde. They have secured just one win in their last 7 games away from home in all competitions. They sit 2nd on the table with 37 points in 21 games, scoring 44 goals and conceding 24.

Due to injuries, Fredrik Gulbrandsen will miss this game. However, all eyes will be on Magnus Eikrem, who hasn’t scored in his last two games since getting a brace over HamKam in August. He is the league's top scorer with 10 goals. Due to injuries, Fredrik Gulbrandsen and Johan Bakke remain absent for a long time.

Kristiansund — Michael Lansing, Hakon Sjatil, Marius Olsen, Dan Peter Ulvestad, Mikkel Rakneberg, Wilfred George Igor, Erlend Segberg, Ruben Alte, Alioune Ndour, Kristian Strømland Lien, Oskar Sivertsen.

Molde — Albert Posiadala, Eirik Haugan, Martin Bjørnbak, Isak Helstad Amundsen, Martin Linnes, Markus André Kaasa, Mats Möller Daehli, Emil Breivik, Kristoffer Haugen, Ola Brynhildsen, Magnus Eikrem.

Molde bounced back to winning ways in a special way in their last game. Despite previously losing to arch-rival Rsenborg and the drama at the continental scene, it is now obvious that Molde are fully focused on the league. Moreover, they have won the last 6 games against Kristiansund. So, it’s an easy win for the visitors. However, the hosts will allow them to go without leaving a mark.
