The hosts, Molde, are coming off a recent 2-1 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League during the midweek. In that match, Jeremi Frimpong and Nathan Tella scored for the German side in the first half, earning them all three points.
However, Erling Moe's team is shifting their focus back to domestic league action. In their previous league outing, they convincingly defeated the former league leaders, Viking, with a resounding 4-0 victory at home.
Molde's recent form has been impressive, as they have not experienced a single loss in their last 12 matches this season. They occupy the fifth position in the league standings, having accumulated 44 points from 23 matches. They've been productive in front of goal, scoring 52 times, while maintaining a solid defensive record by conceding only 24 goals throughout the season.

However, their attention is now redirected towards domestic league action. In their last league match, Bodo/Glimt clinched a 2-0 home win against Stromsgodset, securing all three points. This triumph allowed them to ascend to the top position in the league standings.
As of now, Bodo/Glimt occupy the top spot in the league, accumulating 52 points from 23 games. They have been quite prolific in front of goal, scoring 59 times, while maintaining a respectable defensive record, having conceded 29 goals over the course of the season.

Both sides are in great form, but I see the visitors getting at least a point in this clash. Additionally, the match may end in a draw in the first 45 minutes.
