Molde hosts Stabaek in round 9 of the Norwegian Eliteserien. The match will be played on Sunday, June 20th at Aker Stadion (Molde)
Over the past ten years, Molde became the champion of the country four times, including in 2019. In the last draw, the grandee was satisfied with the 2nd place, losing to Bodo/Glimt. And now it is these two teams that are arguing for leadership. So far, Erling Moe's charges are two points behind, and the reigning champion has 19 points. But the latest results of Molde are encouraging. Yes, MFK had an unsuccessful segment in May, and the team finished the spring with one point scored in two matches. But it looks like the 2-week hiatus was definitely good for the team. It gained two very convincing wins after the resumption of the tournament. MFK beat Sanderfjord away (1-3) and dealt with Sarpsborg at home on Wednesday (4-1).

Stabaek was among the leaders of Norwegian football at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century. Then the Blues won their only trophies (the cup in 1998 and the championship in 2008) and climbed to the top three four times. But now Jan Jonsson's charges do not shine. And they probably won’t repeat even last year's result (eight place). Now only two clubs, Sandefjord and Brann, have fewer points. However, you should not dramatize the situation. So far, Stabaek is gaining exactly an average of one point per game (five points scored in five matches), and Eliteserien started only recently. And the first success can raise the team to the upper part of the table. However, Stabaek has slowed down after a 3-match successful streak (two draws and one victory). In the last two rounds, the Blues suffered two painful defeats to Rosenborg and Tromso (4-2 and 0-3, respectively).
In recent years, Stabaek has been failing in games against one of the championship leaders. In 2019 and 2020, it lost both matches to Molde and often conceded a lot. It is unlikely that the trend will be somehow broken now. We are waiting for the leader's victory with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Molde to win with -1.5 handicap
