One of the matches in the UEFA Conference League round of 16 will take place in Norway, where local side Molde will host Belgian outfit Club Brugge at the "Aker" arena. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Molde
"MFK" failed to make an impact in the group stage of the Europa League, conceding to Bayer Leverkusen and Azerbaijani side Qarabag. Nevertheless, Swedish side Hacken proved to be manageable opponents in the group, allowing Molde to finish calmly in third place. In the previous stage of the Conference League, the Norwegian club faced Polish side Legia and after a 3-2 victory at home, convincingly defeated their opponents 3-0 in the away leg.
It's worth noting that the Norwegian league has not yet started, and in the previous season, Molde performed disappointingly, finishing only in fifth place. The team, led by Erling Moe, managed to qualify for European competitions only thanks to their victory in the Norwegian Cup over Bodo/Glimt.
Club Brugge
In contrast to their opponents, Ronnie Deila's team is in good form as the Belgian league is in full swing. In their last match over the weekend, Brugge defeated Genk away with a score of 3-0, although prior to that, they drew two matches against Cercle Brugge and lost to Anderlecht. Currently, Brugge sits in third place in the Jupiler League standings, trailing Royal Union by a significant 20 points.
In the group stage of the Conference League, the "Blue-Blacks" encountered no difficulties and confidently won Group D, leaving behind Swiss side Lugano, Turkish side Besiktas, and another Norwegian team, Bodo/Glimt. As the group winner, Brugge did not participate in the previous stage of the tournament.
Interesting facts about the match and personal meetings
- The teams have not crossed paths in European competitions before, but Brugge defeated Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt twice in the group stage, winning 1-0 away and 3-1 at home.
Molde - Club Brugge Prediction
Molde confidently defeated Legia, however, in the upcoming match, bookmakers slightly favor the Belgians. Nevertheless, we believe that the hosts will not lose. Our bet is "Molde not to lose" at odds of 1.58.
