In this week 7 match on the 21st of May, Molde will play host to Kristiansund in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Eliteserien teams. In their last match, 3rd placed Molde, recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Aalesund. Magnus Eikrem struck first for Molde in the 3rd minute, then Rafik Zekhnini added another in the 43rd minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Aalesund couldn’t manage to score, and Molde took the shutout win. Molde is looking for direction having 4 win and 2 losses in their last 10 matches, while kristiansund sits at 16th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-3 loss against Strømsgodset. Johan Hove struck first for Strømsgodset in the 23rd minute, then Lars-Jørgen Salvesen added another in the 42nd minute on a feed from Halldor Stenevik In the end, Kristiansund couldn’t muster any offence and Strømsgodset ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Arbnor Mucolli and Amidou Diop are the top scorers for Kristiansund in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Magnus Eikrem has been the most prolific scorer on Molde in the last 5 matches with three goals.
