Viking FK will be eager to bounce back from their recent 5-1 defeat against Bodo/Glimt and secure a better result in this upcoming match. Their strong form in the past few games, picking up 10 points and scoring 14 goals, is a positive indicator for their attacking prowess. Additionally, their unbeaten record at home in the last four games provides them with confidence.

Considering Viking FK's consistent scoring record at home this season and the trend of matches involving them ending with two or more goals, it is likely that we will witness a couple of goals in this game. Viking FK will aim to maintain their scoring form and capitalize on their home advantage to put up a competitive performance.

Molde FK will enter this game with high confidence following their dominant 5-0 victory over Sandefjord in their previous match. With 12 points collected from their last 5 games and a total of 16 goals scored, Molde have been in impressive form.

Considering the trend of Molde's recent matches, where 8 consecutive games have ended with two or more goals being scored, there is a good chance we will witness multiple goals in this game as well. Molde will aim to maintain their attacking momentum and continue their scoring streak.

With only one loss in their last 5 games, Molde will be motivated to build on their recent success and secure a positive result against Viking. They will look to carry their momentum into this match and strive for another strong performance.

Viking - Patrik Gunnarsson, Sondre Bjorshol, David Brekalo, Gianni Stensness, Shayne Pattynama, Yann-Erik de Lanlay, Markus Solbakken, Birkir Bjarnason, Sander Svendsen, Lars-Jorgen Salvesen, Zlatko Tripic.

Molde - Jacob Karlstrøm, Martin Bjørnbak, Sheriff Sinyan, Birk Risa, Martin Linnes, Magnus Grødem, Sivert Mannsverk, Emil Breivik, Kristoffer Haugen, Veton Berisha, Ola Brynhildsen.

We expect Viking FK to pose a challenge for Molde FK and have the ability to score against their defense. However, considering Molde's strong form and goal-scoring prowess, it is unlikely that a single goal from Viking FK will be sufficient to secure a victory.

Anticipating a tight encounter, we predict that Molde FK will ultimately come out on top. Their recent performances, along with their ability to find the back of the net consistently, make them the favorites to win this match.
