Molde take on the visitors Elfsborg in the first leg of quarterfinals of UEFA Conference League qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, July 21th at Molde Stadion (Molde).
Molde will be torn between trying to succeed both domestically and internationally. "MFK" in the previous decade experienced its peak. They four times, including in 2019, became the champion of the country, and twice took the national cup. Then there was a small step back: that in 2020, that in 2021 there was 2nd place. Now there is hope for achieving the maximum result. Wards Erling Mo now, in the midst of a new championship (it started in Norway in the spring), is in a stubborn struggle with Lillestrom for leadership. And already managed to take the cup of the country. But I also want to prove their level in European competitions. In 2020, it turned out to reach the 1/8 of the Europa League. And in the next draw, having passed Servette, they lost in extra time to Trabzonspor in qualifications.

Elfsborg managed to achieve a satisfactory result last season. The "Yellow" in 2012, for the last time, so far, became the champion of the country. After 2 years, they also raised the cup over their heads. After that, it was not possible to win new trophies. And in 2020, in Allsvenskan they went up to 2nd place - but in the next draw they already fell back to 4th. However, even it made it possible to get a pass to the League of Conferences. Now, however, the team lost even more, and rolled back closer to the middle of the championship standings. Not the best circumstances to start in the international arena. Last year, the Swedes showed themselves quite well there. They were able to knock out Milsami and Mostar, won at home against Feyenoord, but in the end, they were eliminated from the future finalist from Rotterdam.
Although the clubs represent the neighboring Scandinavian countries, Norway and Sweden, they have not even held friendly, test matches between themselves before. Both teams have playing practice and are on the move. This allows you to count on pretty bright football between neighbors. We bet on "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
