Molde will look to extend their winning run to four games when they visit the Nadderud Stadion in Norway on Saturday (July 29) to face Stabaek in the Eliteserien.
With 29 points from 16 games, the Norwegian champions are fourth in the league table. Their title defence got off to a rough start, going winless in four games, losing thrice. However, since then, things have been looking on the up. In fact, they're unbeaten in five top-flight games, winning four, including the last three.
On Tuesday, though, Molde were brought back to earth by HJK, who beat them 1-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round. Topi Keskinen struck the only goal of the game as the Norwegian visitors were shut out.
