Molde vs HamKam Prediction
Molde had a terrible start to the season, finding themselves in the relegation zone for a couple of weeks. However, they have rebounded in the last few weeks and winning consecutive games has seen them climb out of the drop zone. Nevertheless, a three-point cushion is all that separates them from the bottom three and Per-Mathias Hogmo's side will be aiming to keep their winning run going.
HamKam, for their part, are one of the sides competing with their hosts to avoid the drop. They know that a win for them could see them climb out of the relegation zone.
We expect the home side to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
