Molde - Aalesund

Saturday evening at Aker Stadion, Molde welcome Aalesund for a crucial matchday 22 encounter in the Eliteserien. The hosts enter the contest in formidable form, having secured a convincing 5-1 victory over Hamarkameratene in their last league outing, followed by a dominant cup win against Trygg/Lade. While Molde will be without the injured Birk Risa, Eirik Hestad, and Sivert Hansen, they remain the side with significant momentum. The two teams previously met on 11 July 2026, where they played out a 2-2 draw.

Aalesund arrive looking to stabilize their campaign after a narrow 2-1 defeat to KFUM. Their recent form has been inconsistent, marked by high-scoring cup progression against Foerde but defensive struggles in league play. With Olafur Gudmundsson suspended, the visitors face a difficult test against a potent Molde attack expected to feature Jalal Abdullai and Trent Kone-Doherty.
