Molde vs Viking Prediction and Betting Tips | June 2nd 2024

The action continues in round 12 of the Norwegian Eliteserien as Molde and Viking lock horns at the Aker Stadion on Sunday. Morten Jensen’s men have lost their last three games against the home side and will head into the weekend looking to end this two-year spell.

Molde returned to winning ways in style as they fought back from behind to secure a 3-1 victory away to Brann last Sunday.

Before that, Erling Moe’s side suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Sarpsborg on May 20, which saw their three-game unbeaten run in all competitions come to an end.

Molde have now won six of their 11 Eliteserien matches while losing three and claiming two draws to collect 20 points and sit fourth in the league table.

Viking, on the other hand, turned in another performance of the highest quality as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over HamKam last time out.

Jensen’s men have now won four of their last five league matches, with a 4-1 home defeat against Lillestrom on May 16 being the exception.

With 18 points from 10 matches, Viking are currently fifth in the league standings, two points and one place below Sunday’s hosts.
