Tromsø vs Molde prediction, H2H and probable lineups - July 5, 2025
One of the fixtures of Matchday 12 in the Norwegian championship sees Tromsø host Molde at the Romssa Arena on July 5. Here's a value bet suggestion for the outcome of this clash.
Match preview
Tromsø, under the guidance of Jørgen Vik, are experiencing a true renaissance. After a disastrous 2024 season that saw them finish only 13th, the "Boys" are back in the medal race, racking up 22 points from 11 rounds and climbing to fourth in the table. The team has notched up six consecutive wins, solidified their defense, and once again become a tough opponent at home, playing at a relentless pace and punishing every mistake.
In attack, the Erlien–Braut partnership is firing on all cylinders, while the defense has conceded just 4 goals in the last six games. Despite injuries to Mikkelsen and Kamoes, Tromsø boasts squad depth and tactical cohesion, making them clear favorites in their current form. A win here would put them right on the heels of the leaders, with games in hand.
Molde, on the other hand, are enduring one of their most inconsistent seasons in recent years. Per-Mathias Høgmo's side sit only 10th, with 14 points from 12 matches, just 3 points above the relegation zone. Their recent form is underwhelming: 5 defeats in their last 7 games, with just two wins.
Although Molde have some strong individual talents like Veton Berisha and Eikrem, the team is lacking in stability and balance. Injuries to Poshadala and Eriksen, coupled with a midfield collapse—especially the poor form of Daniël Daga—raise serious doubts about their competitiveness against one of the league's hottest clubs.
Probable lineups
- Tromsø: Haugaard, Kornic, Skervik, Goodall, Kinteh, Norheim, Edvardsson, Jenssen, Hjertø-Dahl, Erlien, Braut
- Molde: Karlstrøm, Kaasa, Eyjann, Haugan, Lund, Enggard, Daly, Hestad, Eikrem, Berisha, Gulbrandsen
Match facts and head-to-head
- Tromsø have won their last 6 league matches in a row.
- Molde have lost 5 of their last 7 official games.
- Molde won the last two head-to-head encounters, but at that time the teams' forms were completely opposite.
Prediction
Tromsø are in phenomenal form and play at home against an opponent lacking confidence and points. With the backing of their home crowd and Molde's defensive frailty, the hosts have every chance to extend their winning streak. The recommended bet is "Tromsø to win with a 0 handicap" at odds of 1.70.
