Molde vs Sandefjord Prediction: Can Molde Turn the Tide at Home?

If you’re searching for the best Molde vs Sandefjord prediction for the Eliteserien fixture on October 19, 2025, you’re in the right spot. At 16:00 GMT, these two sides will take the pitch at Aker Stadion, and we’ve got all the stats, stories, and a dash of friendly football banter you need to get ready. Whether you’re a betting tips enthusiast or just love a good head to head, let’s unravel what’s brewing between Molde and Sandefjord this time around.

Team Form, Tactics, and What’s at Stake

Let’s start with the basics. Molde, usually a force to be reckoned with in Norway, have had a bit of a rollercoaster season. Sitting 11th in the Eliteserien with 30 points from 24 matches, their form reads like a football fan’s emotional diary: 9 wins, 3 draws, and 12 losses. Recent head to head meetings with Sandefjord haven’t gone their way either—Molde have lost three of their last six, including a surprising 0-1 defeat at home last season when Sandefjord were huge underdogs.

Sandefjord, on the other hand, are enjoying life in 5th place with 34 points from 23 games. Their record is a bit of a mixed bag too: 11 wins, 1 draw, and 11 losses. They’ve been shaky on the road, losing four of their last six away matches, but their 3-0 win over Molde earlier this season shows they’re not afraid of the big boys.

Squad News and Key Absences

  • Molde are juggling a few headaches. J. Karlstrom is nursing a knock and might just make it back for this match, but he’s also sitting one yellow card away from suspension. Kristian Eriksen is out with a groin injury, and Sondre Granaas and Gustav Nyheim are away on international duty—Granaas is also flirting with suspension. Daniel Daga is another absentee due to international commitments, and both Emil Breivik and Eirik Haugan are at risk of missing out if they pick up another yellow.
  • There’s a bit of a soap opera with B. Isufi, who was loaned to Sandefjord, recalled, and then sent back on loan again. Football transfers, eh?
  • Sandefjord are missing Sander Risan Mørk until at least the end of the year after surgery, and M. Gjone is suspended following a red card. Several players—Filip Ottosson, Zinedin Smajlović, Robin Dzabic, and Christopher Cheng—are all one card away from a forced rest.

Adding to the drama, Molde recently parted ways with head coach Per-Mathias Høgmo, with Magne Hoseth stepping in as caretaker. Sometimes a change at the top shakes things up—sometimes it just makes the coffee taste different at training.

Molde vs Sandefjord Prediction and Betting Tips: What Do the Numbers Say?

Now, let’s get to the meat of the Molde vs Sandefjord prediction: betting tips, stats, and what our AI thinks will happen.

Stats, Odds, and AI Insights

  1. Bookies have Molde as favorites at 1.73 for a home win, with a draw at 4.15 and Sandefjord at 4.15. Not a huge gap, but Molde’s higher squad value (€26.20m vs Sandefjord’s €12.93m) and home advantage play a part.
  2. Despite these odds, our AI’s 1x2 prediction is for a draw (X) with a confidence of 2.0 out of 10. The odds for a draw are a tempting 4.15, which might catch the eye of value-seekers.
  3. The over/under market is where things get spicy: Over 2.5 goals is the AI’s best tip, with a confidence rating of 5.1/10 and odds at 1.5. Historically, Molde have scored at least two goals in previous encounters, and both sides have attacking threats—even if consistency isn’t always their friend.
  4. Predicted final score? A lively 2:2, with Molde expected to control possession (55% to Sandefjord’s 45%), rack up 15 shots (5 on target), and earn 7 corners. Sandefjord should respond with 12 shots (4 on target) and 4 corners. Looks like a busy day for both goalkeepers.

Head to Head Memories and What to Expect

  • Last season, Sandefjord stunned Molde at Aker Stadion, winning 1-0 as 7.5 outsiders. That result is surely still fresh in Molde’s minds, and revenge could be a motivating factor.
  • Sandefjord’s 3-0 victory earlier this season shows they know how to get at Molde’s defense, but their away record isn’t the best—so expect them to attack but leave gaps at the back.

So, what’s our Molde vs Sandefjord prediction? We see a goal-filled affair, with both sides eager to prove a point and keep their seasons on track. The safest betting tip is over 2.5 goals, but if you fancy a bit of drama, the draw at 4.15 might just be worth a flutter. Either way, this is one Eliteserien fixture you’ll want to mark on your calendar—and maybe keep your nerves steady until the final whistle!
