Zenit Molde betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the UEFA Europa League (Play‑offs) after havinf played in the previous rounds against: Hibernian, Laçi and Glenavon. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at their stadium, with 41 goals scored and 10 conceded. In their last match, for the Eliteserien, they got an away loss against Stabæk by (3‑1). In the last 10 away matches Molde has won 2, tied 3 and lost 5. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 9 of the last 12 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 8 of those 9 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 8 of them. In the last 7 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Molde arrives at this game with a 3-1 defeat to Stabaek, putting an end to the seven straight games without losing in several competitions. To reach these playoffs of the Europa League, the team had to surpass Hibernian. In this first game coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should play in the usual 4-3-3 with Haland being the offensive reference of the Norwegian team. It will be natural for the away team to get too defensive in the game as it plays away from home. Haland is the highlight of the team so far with 9 goals scored. There are no weight absences for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Andreas Linde, Ruben Gabrielsen, Kristoffer Haugen, Christoffer Remmer, Vegard Forren, Babacar Sarr, Etzaz Hussain, Fredrik Aursnes, Eirik Hestad, Petter Strand, Erling Haaland.
