The action continues in round 14 of Norwegian Eliteserien as Fredrikstad and Molde FK lock horns at the Fredrikstad Stadion on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend in contrasting form, with Erling Moe’s men winning their last three matches.
Fredrikstad failed to find their feet as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Kristiansund when the sides squared off at the Aker Stadion last Sunday.
Mikkjal Thomassen’s side have now failed to win their last six matches across all competitions, losing three and claiming three draws since May’s 3-0 victory over Lillestrom.
Fredrikstad will be backing themselves to stop the rot this weekend as they return home, where they have won three of their last four matches since mid-April.
Molde, on the other hand, continued their surge to the top of the Eliteserien table as they picked up a comfortable 3-0 victory over Lillestrom last Sunday.
Moe’s men have now gone five consecutive matches without defeat in all competitions, picking up four wins and one draw since May’s 4-2 loss against Sarpsborg.
With 27 points from 14 matches, Molde are currently third in the Eliteserien table, five points and two places above Saturday’s hosts.
