Seeking to pick up an eighth consecutive victory across all competitions, Molde FK visit the Kristiansund Stadium to face Kristiansund on Sunday.
Christian Michelsen’s side head into the weekend winless in their last nine games on their home turf and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Kristiansund failed to pick up their second consecutive win of the Eliteserien campaign as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Tromsø IL on Wednesday.
This followed a 1-0 victory away to HamKam on July 30, which saw their 14-game winless run in the league come to an end.
Kristiansund are currently rooted to the bottom of the league standings after picking up just six points from 16 games so far.
In stark contrast, Molde continued their fine run of results last time out as they claimed a 3-0 win over Kisvarda FC in the first leg of their Conference League third-round clash.
They are now unbeaten in 19 straight games across all competitions, including seven wins in their last seven outings.
With 39 points from 17 games, Molde are currently first in the league standings with a three-point cushion over second-placed Lillestrom.
