KFUM have been in a rut
Match odds and outlook
Molde FK come into this game as the 2.4 favorites with hosts KFUM Oslo available at 2.7 and the draw at 3.5. This has the feel of a match that could well go the way of the away team, but the matchup of styles should suit the over/under markets rather than Molde to win outright.
Tactical setups
KFUM boss Joergen Isnes has set his men up in a narrow 4-2-3-1 system and they've been trying to nickel and dime teams in recent games, hoping to win second balls and hit teams on the counter. Molde coach Sindre Tjelmeland employs a slightly faster 4-3-3 system that includes more pressing, width and verticality.
Head-to-head
KFUM Oslo have won two of the last five H2H encounters, while Molde have taken one and two draws. Molde have had the better of the meetings in recent times, but this is a matchup that doesn't always go to script.
Molde can win this matchup
KFUM are 13th with 12 points from 13 games, while Molde are 5th with 20 from 13. Oslo have won three of their seven home games in Eliteserien 2026, drawing one and losing three. However, they've scored just six goals across their seven games.
Molde have one win, two draws and three defeats on the road this term, scoring 1.00 goals per game on average and conceding 1.83. They follow a 2-2 away draw at Aalesunds with a 1-2 home defeat to Brann, so the momentum is wobbling, but KFUM have been in a bad mood of late.
KFUM have lost their last four in all competitions, going down 2-0 to Vendsyssel FF in a friendly, 0-2 at home to Bodø/Glimt and 2-1 away to Lillestrøm in their most recent competitive outing.
- I'm going to take the odds in the 90-minute match result with Molde, but the likely outcome is a tight game that could be won by either side.
- I think a draw at 3.5 is good enough to squeeze into this preview as the main selection.
- A BTTS & Over 2.5 goals bet is not out of the question as well, as it should open up if Molde's pace and tempo can break this game open.
