Seeking to move level on points with Lillestrøm at the top of the Norwegian Eliteserien table, Molde FK play host to Tromso on Sunday.
Erling Moe’s side are unbeaten in 10 consecutive home games against the Gutan since 2010 and will look to keep this fine run alive and kicking.
Molde failed to return to winning ways on Wednesday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Jerv.
This followed a goalless draw with HamKam on July 3 which saw their 10-game winning streak come to an end.
With 27 points from 13 games, Molde are currently second in the Eliteserien standings, three points off first-placed Lillestrom.
Like the hosts, Tromso were held to a 2-2 draw by Sandefjord Fotball when the sides squared off last time out.
They are now unbeaten in each of their last 10 outings, picking up six draws and four wins, including June’s 4-1 victory over Skjervoy in the second round of the NM Cup.
With 13 points from 11 games, Tromso are currently 11th in the league table, level on points with 12th-placed Sandefjord Fotball.
