Valerenga eye European surge as Molde's away form falters
With just 13 games remaining, Valerenga aim to close the four-point gap to the European places against a fourth-placed Molde side fighting to protect their continental standing.
Valerenga enter this fixture in 11th place on 21 points, looking to bounce back from a chaotic 5-5 draw against Aalesund. Despite recent home defeats to Bodo/Glimt and Ham-Kam, they have shown high-scoring potential, evidenced by their 6-1 demolition of Aalesund earlier this month.
Molde sit 4th with 27 points but have displayed significant vulnerability away from home, losing four of their eight league trips. They arrive following a narrow 3-2 victory over Tromso, but a recent 1-2 loss at Kristiansund highlights their inconsistency when playing away from their own turf.
