Molde hosts KuPS in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 19h at Aker Stadion (Molde)
Molde has been in very bad shape lately. In six league matches, the team won only twice and suffered a fiasco four times, and three defeats happened in matches with very mediocre teams. The team is in a game crisis, and it is not the right time to bet on Molde.

In recent years, KUPS has become one of the leaders in Finnish football, and it regularly finishes on the podium. This season, the team confirms its class by taking the second place in the standings. For the entire season, the club from Kuopio suffered only one defeat from the strong capital HJK, and it regularly scored points in other matches.
I understand that the Norwegian championship is much stronger than the Finnish one, but it is not enough to expect a defeat from Molde, which the bookmakers consider likely. Still, Molde is far from being in its best shape, and KUPS is playing very well. The visitors' footballers are clearly not whipping boys and must offer serious resistance to their stronger opponent. In general, the two-round confrontation is arranged in such a way that even if the hosts score first, the visitors are unlikely to play open football, hoping that it will be easier to win back in a home match. The main thing is not to concede a lot in the away match. In short, no matter which side you look at, I don't see any reason for a confident victory of Molde.
Prediction for the match: KuPS to win with +1.5 handicap
