Molde vs Mlada Boleslav prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 19, 2024
One of the matches of the sixth round of the UEFA Conference League group stage will be played on Thursday in Norway, where local side Molde will host Mlada Boleslav. We suggest a bet on the number of goals scored in this match with promising odds.
Match Preview
Norwegian club Molde is experiencing a dip in form, going winless in their last four matches across all competitions. In the UEFA Conference League, they first suffered a narrow 0-1 home defeat to Cypriot side APOEL, followed by a 2-2 away draw against HJK in the latest round.
Additionally, Molde lost the Norwegian Cup final to Fredrikstad in a penalty shootout. The only bright spot for the Norwegian team is their 3-0 victory over Larne in the first round, a win that still keeps their playoff hopes alive as they trail the top 24 by just one point.
Meanwhile, Mlada Boleslav began their Conference League campaign with three consecutive defeats, scoring only once during that stretch. However, in the fourth round, the Czech club shocked Spanish side Real Betis with a 2-1 home victory.
Following that, a 1-0 win over Polish team Jagiellonia in the fifth round seemed almost routine. These back-to-back wins lifted the Czechs into the playoff zone, currently occupying 22nd place in the standings. Last weekend, Mlada Boleslav suffered a 1-3 home loss to Sigma Olomouc, ending a seven-match unbeaten streak that included five wins.
