Brann vs Molde Prediction
Bodo Glimt's shock draw at home to newcomers KFUM Oslo has given Brann a window of opportunity. A win will see the Bergen outfit go one point clear at the summit.
Molde, meanwhile, have had a poor run of form that has seen them win one of their last four league games, losing twice.
Expect the two sides to cancel each other out in a high-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Brann 2-2 Molde
