Molde and Viking battle for three points in a Norwegian Eliteserien round nine clash on Sunday at Aker Stadion.
The hosts will look to build on a 3-0 win at Brann in midweek. Fredrik Gulbradsen gave them the lead in the 10th minute before Kristian Eriksen and Veton Berisha's second-half goals gave them a healthy lead they never relinquished despite ending the game with nine men.
Viking, meanwhile, came from behind to claim maximum points in a 4-2 win at Bodo/Glimt. They went into the break behind, with Kasper Hogh and Jostein Gundersen scoring either side of Edvin Austbo's 29th-minute strike.
