Odd's recent form have been disappointing, with four defeats in their last six league matches and a four-match winless streak. Their elimination from the NM Cup further added to their woes. Currently sitting in 11th place in the standings, they are looking over their shoulders towards the bottom three.

However, despite their struggles, Odd have shown that they are capable of challenging the top teams in the division, as evidenced by their victory against third-placed Tromso earlier in the season. They will be hoping to replicate that success and turn their form around.

However, Odd's goal-scoring record has been relatively low, with only seven goals scored in the league this season. Forward Ole Erik Midtskogen has struggled to find the back of the net in the Eliteserien, but his recent goal in the NM Cup gives hope in his ability.

The suspension of Diogo Tomas will require a change to the back three, with Sondre Solholm likely to step in as a replacement.

Odd will need to improve their performances and regain their winning mentality if they want to get back on track. A positive result against Molde would provide a much-needed boost and help them climb the league table. However, they will face a tough challenge against a strong Molde side that has been in good form recently.

Molde's recent victories over Sandefjord and Viking have certainly boosted their confidence heading into the match against Odd. With 24 goals scored this season, they have demonstrated their attacking strength and will likely continue their attacking style of play.

Ola Brynhildsen, who scored a brace in the previous league match, will be one to watch in Molde's lineup. His form will be crucial in their quest for another victory. However, Molde will have to cope with the absence of Ulland Andersen and Martin Ellingsen, who are currently injured.

Sitting in fourth place in the Eliteserien, Molde will be eager to maintain their momentum and secure another three points. A win would keep them in the title race and allow them to continue their pursuit of the top spot in the league.

Considering their recent performances and attacking firepower, Molde will be confident of securing a positive result against Odd.

Odd - Wahlstedt, S.Owusu, Hagen, Tomas; Gjengaar, L.Owusu, Wallem, Baccay; Bang-Kittilsen, Midtskogen, Jevtovic.

Molde - Karlstrom, Sinyan, Bjornbak, Risa; Linnes, Breivik, Mannsverk, Eriksen, Haugen; Berisha, Brynhildsen.

Given Molde's recent form and their strong performances in the fixture, it's reasonable to expect them to have the upper hand in this match. Odds will certainly be looking to improve and find their rhythm, but they face a tough challenge against a dominant Molde side.

While Odds might have a chance to score at some point in the game, Molde's overall quality and attacking prowess make them the favorites. They have been scoring goals consistently and will likely maintain their attacking style of play.
