The action continues in round 16 of Norwegian Eliteserien as Molde FK play host to Bryne at the Aker Stadion on Sunday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with Kevin Knappen’s men suffering a disappointing home defeat at the hands of Viking.
Molde turned in an attacking show of class last time out as they cruised to a 4-1 victory over Stromsgodset when the two teams met at the Aker Stadion.
This was a much-needed result for Per Mathias Hogmo’s side, who had lost each of their previous three outings, conceding eight goals and scoring four in that time.
Molde have won five of their 15 league games while losing eight and claiming two draws to collect 17 points and sit 13th in the standings, level on points with 14th-placed HamKam.
Elsewhere, Bryne were left empty-handed once again as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Viking at the Bryne Stadion last Sunday.
This followed a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Tromso on July 20, a result which saw their six-game unbeaten run (3W, 3D) come to an end.
Bryne have picked up 18 points from their 15 Eliteserien matches so far to sit 12th in the table, level on points with 11th-placed Valerenga.
