Molde aim to break a disappointing trend
Molde FK have made a disappointing start to Eliteserien 2025, sitting 10th in the table after picking up 14 points from 11 games. They have struggled to get any momentum in the league and have been inconsistent on home soil, winning once, drawing once and losing three times in 5 outings at Aker Stadion. For the Molde FK vs KFUM Oslo prediction, recent home form should definitely be considered.
Per-Mathias Hoegmo took over the reins in January 2025.
Their style is possession-based and moderate-to-high tempo, with the ability to switch to different formations, although they generally favour the 4-2-3-1 setup.
Kristoffer Haugen’s overlapping runs from left-back are key in stretching defenses and delivering crosses, while Eirik Hestad is a creative outlet.
Molde are in mixed form, but their home performance has dipped recently with back-to-back home defeats. Therefore, our Molde FK vs KFUM Oslo betting tips should reflect Molde's inconsistency at Aker Stadion.
KFUM will be a difficult to break down
KFUM are in the dog fight at the bottom of the Eliteserien 2025 table and sit 14th with just 8 points from 10 matches. They head into this match following a massive 5-0 home win over Stroemsgodset last time out, but remain winless in their last 2 away games.
Johannes Moesgaard has been in charge of KFUM since January 2023 and has made them a very tough nut to crack in recent seasons. They will set up in a 4-4-2 system, sitting deep and remaining adaptable in their defensive shape. Captain Stian Sortevik provides the experience and quality to control the tempo in midfield, breaking up attacks and organising transitions.
Moses Mawa is an all-action forward who should be licking his lips at the prospect of facing Molde. He will be on a high after their 5-goal rout last time out and will be the focal point of KFUM’s attacking play. Considering all this, our Molde FK vs KFUM Oslo preview will focus on whether KFUM can carry their home momentum into a difficult away fixture.
A tactical chess match
This game will be a test of two different tactical styles, with Molde’s high-possession, structured attacking play going up against KFUM’s defensive structure and counter-attacking. The Molde FK vs KFUM Oslo odds favour Molde as the favourites at 1.74, with a draw coming in at 3.41 and KFUM at 4.00.
Molde will likely edge this game out due to their technical superiority and depth of talent, but recent form and the head-to-head suggest it could be close. That’s why this Molde FK vs KFUM Oslo prediction should take into account both teams' defensive vulnerabilities and offensive potential. Backing ‘Both Teams to Score’ looks a great value bet, given Molde’s poor home defensive record and KFUM’s away struggles in defence.
