If you’re searching for the best Sarpsborg 08 vs Molde prediction, you’ve landed in the right spot. With both teams neck and neck in the Eliteserien table and just a single point separating them, this late November fixture at Sarpsborg Stadion is shaping up to be a real treat for fans and punters alike. Let’s break down the latest team news, tactical nuances, and what our in-house AI is tipping for this high-stakes match.
As the Eliteserien season winds down, every point matters. Sarpsborg 08 sits 10th with 38 points, while Molde is just ahead in 8th place on 39. Both sides have had their share of ups and downs lately, but the visitors arrive with a bit more spring in their step, riding a three-game winning streak. Sarpsborg, meanwhile, have split their last six matches evenly between wins and losses, with defensive frailties at home proving costly.
Head to head, things are tight: Sarpsborg 08 and Molde have drawn three of their last encounters, including a dramatic 2-2 in November 2024. The reverse fixture this season saw Sarpsborg 08 stun Molde 2-0 away, thanks to a Daniel Karlsbakk brace. Historically, Molde holds the edge with 17 wins to Sarpsborg’s 10 (and six draws), but the average of 3.56 goals per match suggests fireworks are never far away.
Both teams have been hit by injuries, but Sarpsborg 08’s list is especially long. Frederik Carstensen (kidney), A. Trondsen (concussion), and Aimar Sher (knee) are all out, while Wilfred George Igor, Axel Kryger, and Michael Lansing are not expected back until after the season ends. Still, Daniel Karlsbakk has been electric up front, netting 17 times, with Jo Inge Berget and Sønder Sørli chipping in.
Molde, for their part, have had to cope without Kristian Eriksen (knee ligament), while other regulars like Mats Dæhli and Jacob Karlstrøm have also missed time. The good news? Fredrik Gulbrandsen and Magnus Wolff Eikrem are both in fine form, and Jalal Abdullai leads the club in all competitions with 9 goals.
Both managers have brought tactical tweaks this season. Sarpsborg 08, now under Martin Foyston, often line up in a 4-2-3-1 and tend to grow into games, scoring most of their goals after the break. Molde, with Magne Hoseth now caretaker, have shifted to a patient, possession-heavy 4-2-3-1, a change from their more direct past.
Let’s get to the part you’re here for: the Sarpsborg 08 vs Molde prediction. The bookies have Molde as slight favourites (2.42 for away win), with Sarpsborg 08 at 2.7 and the draw at 3.9. But what do the numbers say?
Other numbers to keep in mind:
Both teams have leaky defences—Sarpsborg 08 have shipped 48 goals, Molde 41—which is music to the ears of anyone backing over 2.5 goals. And with both sides still fighting for higher league finishes, expect neither to sit back.
All signs point to another open, entertaining meeting. Sarpsborg 08 will hope home advantage and Karlsbakk’s hot streak can tip the balance, while Molde’s recent momentum and deeper squad could see them edge it. But with draws the order of the day in recent head to heads, a share of the spoils—and plenty of goals—looks the value play.
So, for your Sarpsborg 08 vs Molde prediction, our top betting tip is over 2.5 goals, with a cheeky punt on the draw for those feeling brave. However you play it, this is one not to miss.
