Molde lost their last league outing 3-1 to Sandefjord. Sandefjord outplayed Molde for many parts of the game with 62% possession of the ball, and Molde managed just 38%. Fredrik Gulbrandsen scored the game's opening goal in the 35th minute, but 3 goals in the second half were enough for Sandefjord. Molde have since bounced back to winning ways, with a 4-2 win over Sarpsborg 08 in their last game. With the mid-week cup win, Molde have won 4 of their last 5 games. They sit 3rd on the table with 13 points in 7 games, scoring 12 and conceding 7.

• Mats Möller Daehli's availability in this clash is doubtful due to a leg injury.
• Gustav Nyheim is ruled out with a knock injury.

Rosenborg continued their recent poor form in their last game, losing 3-0 to Brann. They had earlier lost 3-1 to Bodo/Glimt and 1-0 to Fredrikstad. The Troll Children have not lost their last 3 games and have scored just once in those games. They sit 9th on the table with 9 points in 6 games, scoring 7 and conceding 8.

• Tomas Nemcik is out of this clash due to a thigh injury.

Molde — Albert Posiadala, Eirik Haugan, Anders Hagelskjaer, Isak Helstad Amundsen, Martin Linnes, Kristian Eriksen, Emil Breivik, Markus Andre Kaasa, Mathias Fjoertoft Loevik, Eirik Hestad, Fredrik Gulbrandsen.

Rosenborg – Sander Tangvik, Erlend Dahl Reitan, Mikkel Konradsen Ceide, Haakon Volden, Ulrik Yttergaard Jenssen, Markus Henriksen, Ole Kristian Selnaes, Sverre Halseth Nypan, Emil Frederiksen, Ole Christian Saeter, Jesper Reitan-Sunde.

Rosenborg’s recent form is concerning, so they won't get my backing at this point of the season. On the other hand, Molde have been superb, so they can easily win this game with a reasonable margin.
