Molde may have won 3–0 away to Brann last time out, but the scoreline flattered them. Brann dominated the match across the board: shots (19–4), shots on target (7–3), and xG (2.07–0.61). To add to the concern, Molde finished the game with nine men—Berisha (3G) and Enggård both saw red and are suspended here. Key players Haugen, Eikrem, and Hestad also left the match with injuries and are now doubtful.

Molde’s season overall has been underwhelming: 1.00–1.38 in goals (1.24–1.28 xG), and at home: 1.00–1.50 (1.43–1.42 xG).

Viking, on the other hand, are flying. They come off a 4–2 away win against Bodø/Glimt—a result that underlines their attacking threat. Top scorer Tripic (8G, 4A) was rested initially, but came on and helped turn the game around after Bodø went down to ten men. With that rest, he should be fit to start here.

Viking are averaging an impressive 2.90–1.40 in goals (2.35–1.10 xG), and away from home: 2.75–1.50 goals (1.97–0.99 xG). Both the underlying numbers and form clearly favor the visitors.

Given Molde’s suspensions, injury doubts, and shaky form—and Viking’s explosive attack and momentum—Viking +0 at 1.90 looks like strong value.
