Prediction for the UEFA Europa League match which will take place on August 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Molde, as one of the flagships of Norwegian football, has been a regular participant in European cups for many years. The Norwegians played in the Champions League group in the late 1990s, and in the Europa League they reached the round of 16 in the 2020/21 season.

In the current campaign, Molde had already made it through one round of qualification before meeting Cercle Brugge, defeating Danish Silkeborg - 3:1 at home, 2:3 away.

In the Norwegian championship, which is held in the country under the spring-autumn system, Molde is in fourth place after 17 rounds with a goal difference of 32:20.

The Belgian club, owned by Russian businessman Dmitry Rybolovlev, does not have the same serious EuroBcu tradition as Molde. The current run is only the fourth for the club with more than a century of history. However, it started well - 1:1 away and 1:0 at home against Scottish Kilmarnock.

The new round of the Belgian championship has just begun, and Cercle Brugge have two defeats in two matches so far - 0:3 away from Westerlo and 1:2 at home from Kortrijk.

Molde plays attacking football, and most of the matches of the Norwegian team turn out to be productive. Let's not go against the statistical trend here and take the total over. Since Molde have scored at least three goals in 15 of their last 20 games.

Also, we don't believe that Cercle Brugge can win in Norway. Again, Molde is a much more experienced team in European competition.
