Sandefjord vs Molde Prediction
Sandefjord will have the difficult task of negotiating a match against the league leaders at home. Molde have been in imperious form this season and have not looked back since their derby win against Stromsgodset. They have scored more than 10 goals in their last five league outings.
The hosts will have to be strong at the back to have any chance of salvaging a point from this game. They are in dire need of points to move up the table, but will struggle to accomplish that mission against their opponents this weekend.
Molde are undoubtedly firm contenders to seal the victory.
Prediction: Sandefjord 1-3 Molde
