Eliteserien: Tromso vs. Molde Preview
Tromso
Romssa Arena will be the venue for Friday’s football match between Tromso and Molde, two teams with very different objectives for the 2024 Eliteserien season. Tromso’s primary goal is to ensure their survival in the top flight, while Molde is aiming to reclaim the domestic title. Tromso’s recent performance, a 2-2 draw with Lillestrom before the break, was underwhelming, suggesting that a home win might be unlikely. The only expected absentee for Tromso is forward Vegard Erlien.
Molde
Erling Moe’s Molde side is focused on closing the gap with league leaders Bodo/Glimt and will likely adopt an aggressive approach against Jorgen Vik’s Tromso. Molde is motivated for revenge after being outplayed 4-1 by Tromso in their last Eliteserien meeting. However, Molde will be missing several players due to injuries, including Albert Posiadala, Jacob Karlstrom, Kristoffer Haugen, Gustav Nyheim, Martin Bjornbak, and Oliver Petersen.
Prediction
Given the teams’ current forms and objectives, we predict a 2-1 victory for Molde, driven by their determination to catch up with the league leaders and avenge their previous loss to Tromso.
