- Tromsø IL are unbeaten in 2 away games, winning one and drawing the other.
- Molde FK’s home record in Eliteserien 2025 is W4, D1, L4.
Høgmo’s hot and cold hosts
In a clash of contrasting styles, Molde FK’s high-tempo, attacking game will take on the disciplined, pragmatic approach of visiting Tromsø IL on Sunday. Per-Mathias Høgmo’s team have played some excellent soccer since the ex-Norway U21 head coach took the reins in January 2025. He has instilled a possession-based 4-3-3 system in the squad, with Molde regularly playing attacking soccer and looking to counter-press opponents when out of possession.
This approach has served Molde well, but they have been frustrated by some teams who have sat deep and set up compact units to frustrate their attacks. The first Molde FK vs Tromso IL prediction is that Tromsø IL is one such team, and their head-to-head record is 3 wins to Molde FK's 2. Tromsø IL are also very capable of creating havoc on the counter and from set pieces, so this game will be a chess match for the managers.
Tromsø can make waves in Molde
Vik’s men have 33 points from 18 games in Eliteserien 2025, placing them 4th in the table, while Molde sit 9th, 9 points behind Tromsø with the same number of games played.
This is due in part to Molde’s lacklustre home form in Eliteserien 2025, where they have 4 wins, 1 draw, and 4 defeats from 9 home games.
Tromsø, however, are the real form team with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 defeat in their last 5 games, and could have a great chance of another upset on Sunday.
Molde are the slight favorites here at 2.04, with the visitors listed as 3.57 underdogs.
With Molde in hot and cold form and Tromsø IL on a good run, the Molde FK vs Tromso IL preview suggests that the value in the game is in the outright market, with a Tromsø double chance our top pick.
Tromsø’s ability to sit deep and frustrate Molde, whilst remaining a constant threat on the break, could make the home advantage redundant here, and given their good away form in Eliteserien 2025 (W5, D2, L2), they have a real chance of getting a result.
Expect fireworks at Aker Stadion
Fredrik Gulbrandsen is in good form for Molde, with the veteran striker netting 2 of their last 6 goals, whilst Vegard Østraat Erlien has chipped in with 3 goals in Tromsø’s last 5. Both teams have a knack for scoring when they play at Molde’s ground, with an average of 6.5 goals in the last 5 meetings, and this combined with both sides’ decent scoring form, makes over 2.5 goals look a value bet here. For those searching for Molde FK vs Tromso IL betting tips, the odds on goal markets might be well worth considering.
This Molde FK vs Tromso IL prediction also points to an entertaining encounter, given the attacking firepower on both sides.
