Molde vs Kristiansund Prediction and Betting Tips | May 16th 2025
Molde will host Kristiansund at the Aker Stadion on Friday in the seventh round of the 2025 Eliteserien campaign. The hosts will be keen to continue their recent solid form after a slow start to the season.
Molde picked up a dominant 3-0 win over Bryne FK on Sunday, with Emil Breivik netting a brace to help make it five wins and two draws in their last seven games. The hosts lost their two opening games in the Eliteserien this term but have since drawn two and won two and will be looking to build on that in an early bid to reclaim the league title and consequently return to Europe.
Kristiansund are two points above Friday's hosts despite falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat when they hosted Fredrikstad last time out. The loss marked the visitors' fourth defeat in the league this season after eight games played and will leave the Owls keen to return to winning ways this weekend.

Molde vs Kristiansund Prediction
The hosts are strong favorites going into Friday's game courtesy of their home advantage and dominant history in recent editions of this fixture. MFK will, however, need to ensure there will be no complacency to avoid any surprises like they had in their earlier games of the season.
The Owls saw their latest result end a run of back-to-back victories and they will be looking to put out a response here. They have been bright on the road of late, but could see defeat against significantly stronger opposition this weekend.
