- Molde FK have won 6, drawn 1 and lost 5 of their 12 home games in Eliteserien 2025.
- Sandefjord have won 2 and lost 8 of their 11 away matches in Eliteserien 2025.
Molde FK must shut out Sandefjord in tight game
Sandefjord are a pragmatic and compact team that play to their own strength on the counter-attack, especially when playing away from home. Hans Erik Oedegaard has overseen a change of approach at the club since he took over on May 18th, 2024, that has seen The Boys from the Valley win 2 and lose 3 of their last 5 games.
Sandefjord have won each of the last 3 head-to-head encounters and it is easy to see how their speed on the break could trouble Molde FK in what should be a close game. This Molde FK vs Sandefjord prediction highlights just how evenly matched these teams appear on paper.
Oedegaard’s men are in decent form coming into Sunday’s game, having won their last 2 including a superb 3-2 success at FK Haugesund last time out. The result lifted them to 5th in the Eliteserien 2025 table with 34 points from 23 games, while Molde FK are down in 11th with 30 from 24.
Norway’s ‘Godset’ are inconsistent under Hoseth
Molde FK are the favorite here at 1.8 while the visitors are the 3.85 underdogs, but according to this Molde FK vs Sandefjord preview, the home side are not exactly consistent in Eliteserien 2025 and come into this after winning one and losing four of their last five.
Magne Hoseth’s side, who have a very different approach to the game and like to dominate possession, have split their last two matches with a 4-1 victory over Vaalerenga followed by a 2-1 away defeat to Kristiansund BK last weekend. Hoseth, who has been in charge since September 15th, 2025, has not yet found the consistency needed to make Molde FK the dominant side they were in 2023.
Molde have averaged 2.5 goals per game against Sandefjord at Aker Stadion, although The Boys from the Valley have scored just 0.5 per match on their trips to play in the head-to-heads. With the odds on over 2.5 goals at 1.5 heavily favoured, our Molde FK vs Sandefjord betting tips suggest supporting the unders in this clash of contrasting styles in the belief that it could still be a high-scoring game if Molde’s press fails to contain Sandefjord’s counter-attacking ability. Additionally, the second Molde FK vs Sandefjord prediction would consider Molde’s shaky recent form when making selections.
