Klaksvik vs Molde Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - August 6, 2023

Klaksvik vs Molde
UEFA Champions League Qualifications
Date: 8 August 2023, Tuesday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Torsvollur (Torshavn).

Klaksvik will continue their European fairytale on Tuesday evening with the home clash against Molde in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round at Torsvollur.

The Faroese champions made history by becoming the first team from their country to secure a qualification for the group stage of a European competition last week by eliminating Swedish champions Hacken in the Champions League second qualifying round.

Klaksvik showed two phenomenal performances on the road in two previous rounds, bagging three goals past Ferencvaros in Hungary and three goals past Hacken in Sweden.

The team led by Norwegian manager Magne Hoseth will now have a realistic opportunity to prolong their amazing series against Norwegian champions Molde.

Molde have not impressed in the previous round at all, requiring two late second-half goals to survive a tough HJK test after losing the first leg 0-1 in Helsinki.

Erling Moe’s troops hold the fourth position after 17 rounds of the season in the Norwegian top flight, trailing nine points to leaders Bodo/Glimt.

Nevertheless, it is worth noting that Molde seem to have caught their best form of the season at the moment as they will go into this matchup with a run of eight victories, one draw, and one loss in the last ten games in all competitions.

Klaksvik vs Molde Head-to-head

• These two outfits met each other exactly two decades ago in the UEFA Europa League qualifications.
• Molde advanced 6-0 on aggregate on the occasion.
• This will only be their third head to head clash.

Klaksvik vs Molde Prediction

Molde are massive favorites going into this tie but so were the likes of Ferencvaros and Hacken in the previous two rounds against Klaksvik. This Faroese team have something special about them and this is a very much winnable affair for them if we are to judge by Molde’s performances against HJK.

We will take the 2.10 odds for Klaksvik’s win or draw double chance while the Under 2.5 goals FT also seems like an interesting betting option at the 1.85 odds. Both of Klaksvik’s home outings in the previous two rounds have ended in goalless draws.

Klaksvik vs Molde Betting Tips

• Klaksvik to win or draw @ 2.10 (11/10)

• Under 2.5 goals FT @ 1.85 (17/20) odd.
