⚽ Football Bet of the Day
Tromso IL vs Molde
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Viktoria Plzen to Win | |
10/11 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Viktoria Plzen’s wastefulness cost them the first leg, but their superiority was clear. With Servette short on key players and the Czechs needing a win, this tie favours the visitors. Back Plzen to turn their dominance into a result and complete the comeback in Geneva on Wednesday night. | |
🧮 Quickfire Stats
- 6 – Tromsø have won their last six league matches, scoring 13 goals in that time.
- 5 of 7 – Molde have lost five of their last seven matches in all competitions.
- 4 goals conceded – Tromsø’s defence has only allowed four goals during their six-match winning run.
Rationale:
While Molde may have the historical pedigree, recent weeks have exposed the cracks in their squad and system. Their midfield has lacked bite, the backline is error-prone, and they’re failing to turn possession into clear-cut chances. Even in their recent victories, the performances were far from convincing — and a trip to Tromsø, where conditions and confidence both favour the hosts, is unlikely to help steady the ship.
Tromsø’s tactical identity is now fully embedded. The wing-backs push aggressively, the midfield trio press with intelligence, and their attackers operate with both discipline and flair. They’re one of the fittest sides in the league, which often tells in the second half of games — especially against less organised opponents.
Vik’s side know that a victory here could close the gap on the top two, with games in hand providing additional leverage. There’s simply too much momentum behind Tromsø and not enough structure within Molde to tip the scales the other way.
This may not be a goal-fest — Tromsø have largely preferred controlled victories — but it’s hard to make a compelling case for anything other than a home win. The odds still offer value, considering the form differential and the growing psychological gap between these two clubs.
