Team analysis: Molde
Molde is in an unenviable situation in the group stage of the Conference League. After a good start, where they achieved one victory, a series of bad results followed – three defeats and a draw against HJK in the last round. That draw against the Finnish team was especially painful, because they had a two-goal lead, but conceded a goal in stoppage time and fell short of a much-needed victory.
Erling Moe was replaced after a weak domestic championship (fifth place in the league), and the team is now led by the Strande-Maeland duo, who are tasked with saving the European season. They are currently in 26th place, with only four points, which means that they need a win in this match to be among the top 24 teams and secure a place in the playoffs.
Molde has shown solid games in the past at home, but their attacking efficiency is their main problem. Frederik Ihler scored half of their goals in this competition (3 out of 6), while the likes of Ole Brynhildsen fell short, missing a number of chances. In addition, injuries to key players such as Veton Berisha further complicate the situation.
Team analysis: Mlada Boleslav
After three initial defeats in the group, Mlada Boleslav rose from the ashes and scored two victories, which allowed them to be above Molde in the table and in a position to fight for a place in the playoffs. The Czech team hopes that winning at least one point in Norway will be enough to advance, while a win would guarantee a place in the knockout stage without relying on other results.
Under the leadership of Andreas Brannstrom, Mlada Boleslav showed good team spirit and discipline, but their away performance is not encouraging. Defeats against Noa (0:2) and Vitoria Guimaraes (1:2) point to vulnerability away from home.
In the domestic league, they recently suffered a defeat against Sigma Olomouc (1:3), ending a series of five consecutive victories. This may affect the morale of the team, but the fact that they have no injuries and are complete for this duel is in their favor. Striker Patrik Vydra, who scored twice in the group stage, will be a key player in trying to threaten Molde’s defence.
Betting Tip: GG (Both Teams to Score)
Both teams enter this match with the imperative of a good result. Molde must attack from the first minute, which could open up space for the guests from the Czech Republic to counter.
