Molde FK vs Aalesunds Prediction: The defending champions out for their first win of the season

Even though they've had a bad start to the season, Aalesund are prepared for their next Eliteserien match on May 3 away against Molde. A win at Aker Stadion would provide Molde, the reigning champions, with a much-needed confidence boost, where they are looking for their first victory of the season.

Molde

Molde continue to search for their first win of the season. After four matches played in the league, Molde has a record of three defeats and one tie, which they achieved against Rosenborg.

If the season were to conclude today, they would be eliminated from the league. They are presently in the relegation zone after surrendering three goals to Stabaek in their most recent loss. However, they do have a good winning record against Aalesund, and manager Erling Moe will be expecting his team to win all three points in this matchup.

Aalesund

Aalesund have failed to win any of their first four matches since the start of the new season. It is essential to take into account the fact that they are currently experiencing a goalless drought and have not produced a single tally in this current season.

As a result, they are the worst team in the league up to this point, and they will be hoping to improve their standing in the future.

Possible Starting Lineups

Molde: Jacob Karlstrøm (GK), Benjamin Hansen, Eirik Haugan, Birk Risa, Martin Linnes, Emil Breivik, Sivert Mannsverk, Magnus Grødem, Mathias Fjörtoft Lövik, Kristian Eriksen, Ola Brynhildsen.

Aalesund: Sten Grytebust (GK), Nikolai Hopland, David Fällman, Jeppe Moe, Alexander Munksgaard, Alexander Juel Andersen, Amidou Diop, John Kitolano, Markus Karlsbakk, Kristoffer Barmen, Moses Ebiye.

Expert Betting Tips

Three of Molde's four league games have ended in losses, with the other concluding in a tie against Rosenborg. Aalesund, on the other hand, are in an even worse position since they have failed to win any of their first four matches of the season. Before this match, Molde's record against Orange and Blue was perfect, as they had won each of the previous six meetings between the two teams. As a result, we believe that Molde possesses the necessary level of strength to win this game and take all three points.

The last time Tongoshirts played at Aker Stadion, they did not score against Molde. In light of this, we anticipate a low-scoring match in which the home team will keep a clean sheet.
