Molde Team News
Molde improved their form after a weak start to the championship, and now they are in fifth place in the table, but still with a big gap of 12 points compared to the first-place Bodo/Glimt.
Four weeks ago, Molde was surprisingly defeated by Odd with 1:0, after which the series of better results of the most trophy-winning Norwegian team began. They beat Haugesund 1:0 on their home field, and in the next round, they will play away to the league leader, Bodo. When Molde was left with a player less in the 18th minute due to Kallstrom’s red card, a convincing victory for the hosts was expected. However, Molde took a 2:0 advantage with the goals of Brynhildsen, but they failed to keep the advantage, and Bodo reached the final 2:2 with a goal in stoppage time.
After this match, Molde recorded two more triumphs, and they entered the duel with Sarpsborg in a good mood.

Sarpsborg 08 Team News
Sarpsborg has been playing in series all season. After 15 matches, they are in seventh place in the table, with six points less than the third-placed Brann and the position that leads to the qualification for the Conference League, which would be an incredible success for the guests.
Sarpsborg, after two league defeats against Tromsø 2:1 and Viking 3:1, managed to achieve two convincing victories. They defeated Rosenborg away from home 3:0 and the round after that against Sandefjord 6:1. However, as we said, Sarpsborg lacked consistency in the game during the entire championship, so after that, they were defeated by Stromgodset 5:2 and Ham Kam with 3:2. If we add to that the defeat against today’s rival Molde in the ¼ final of the Cup, it is clear that the visitors enter this duel in lousy shape.

Molde vs Sarpsborg 08 Prediction
With a victory in this duel, the home team would overtake Brann or Tromso in the table, considering that these clubs play each other in this round. The difference in quality between Molde and Sarpsborg is significant, and we believe it will come to the fore in this duel. Tradition and form are also on Molde’s side, and if we add that the home team won against Sarpsborg 3:1 ten days ago, it is clear why we give them the advantage again today.
Kick-off Time: Saturday, 22.07.2023 6:00 PM Local time GMT +1 / 18:00 CET
