Fredrikstad vs Molde Predictions

Can Molde End Their Slump or Will Fredrikstad Pile On the Misery?

• Fredrikstad’s winless streak stretches to seven
  • They haven’t won any of their last seven matches, five of which ended in defeat, while scoring just twice in that entire run.
• Molde thrive on the road despite recent dip
  • Despite back-to-back defeats, Molde had won six of their previous eight away games, proving they’re dangerous travellers when it clicks.
• Fredrikstad struggling at home recently
  • After four straight wins at home, they’ve now gone three without victory at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion — a worrying slide at the wrong time.

Best Bet for Fredrikstad vs Molde

Saturday’s clash at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion might not be a title-decider, but it certainly carries weight — especially for a Molde side that suddenly finds themselves peering nervously over their shoulder. The Eliteserien table isn’t the most flattering read for the visitors right now. After 13 matches, they sit only two points above the relegation play-off place. That sort of proximity to danger isn’t what anyone expected from a club with such lofty standards, yet here we are.

Their hosts, Fredrikstad, are only marginally better off in terms of points, but they do occupy eighth and will feel slightly less pressure heading into this one. They’re coming off a draw with Valerenga, a game that had its moments but also highlighted their biggest issue right now — finishing chances. Scoring just twice in their last five matches doesn’t exactly scream ‘goal rush,’ and it’s no surprise that they’ve gone winless in their past seven outings. Losing five in that run has only added to the tension around the club, and while home advantage would normally be a boost, Fredrikstad haven’t won in any of their last three matches at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion either.

Molde, for all their current troubles, might quietly fancy this trip. Yes, they were poor against Tromso and barely threatened before being reduced to 10 men just before the break. But zoom out a bit and you’ll find they’ve still won six of their last nine away matches in all competitions, despite what the doom merchants might be saying.

Best Bet: Molde to Win

At BettingTips4You, we don’t flood you with confusing multiple selections per game. We believe in quality, not quantity. Every match deserves a clear, decisive pick — and for this fixture, Molde to Win is the standout choice.

Why does this tip hold the most value? Let’s start with the basics. Fredrikstad are not winning football matches. Seven games without a victory, five of those ending in defeat, tell their own story. Their home form has completely tailed off, with two losses and a draw in their last three at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion — hardly fortress-like. Their struggles in front of goal are real, with just two goals scored in their last five.

Molde, on the other hand, aren’t exactly flying either. Their defeat at Tromso was uninspiring, but playing with 10 men for over half the game makes the context essential. Before that, they had been finding results away from home, with six wins in their previous eight on the road. That kind of travelling form suggests they can perform when the pressure’s on — especially against teams who don’t pose a consistent attacking threat.

Even without Caleb Zady Sery and Kristian Eriksen, Molde still have the firepower and depth to take something from this match. Veton Berisha up front, with Eirik Hestad and Fredrik Gulbrandsen alongside him, provides enough experience and sharpness in the final third. Midfield options like Daehli and Kaasa offer control and vision, and that could be key against a Fredrikstad side that struggles to dictate games.

BettingTips4You.com expert quote:

“Neither team is in sparkling form, but Molde’s stronger squad, away record, and Fredrikstad’s clear attacking problems tip this one in the visitors’ favour.” — Graham Hartshorn, BettingTips4You.com expert

Everything points to Molde being able to edge this one. It might not be pretty, but sometimes you need grit more than glamour, especially when you’re scrapping to pull away from the wrong end of the table.

Suggested Correct Score: Fredrikstad 1-2 Molde

Fredrikstad could nick a goal at home, but Molde’s more complete attacking unit and sharper edge on the road should get them over the line with a narrow win.
