Molde vs Mlada Boleslav Prediction and Betting Tips | December 19th 2024

Molde and Mlada Boleslav will battle for three points in a UEFA Conference League fixture on Thursday (December 19th). The game will be played at Aker Stadion.

The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw away to HJK last week. They raced into a two-goal lead before the half-hour mark courtesy of Frederik Ihler's brace but Lee Erwin halved the deficit just before the break while Kai Meriluoto equalized in injury time.

Boleslav, meanwhile, suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to Sigma Olomouc in the Czech First League. Jan Navratil and Filip Zorvan scored to put the visitors two goals up at the break. Matyas Vojta pulled one back for the hosts seven minutes into the second half while Matej Miluenka made sure of the result in the 73rd minute.

Andreas Brannstrom's side will shift their focus back to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a 1-0 home win over Jagiellonia.

The win propeled them to 22nd spot in the Conference League table, having garnered six points from five games. Molde are 26th on four points.

Molde vs Mlada Boleslav Prediction

Molde had a disastrous campaign that culminated in them losing the Norwegian Cup final to Fredrikstad. That loss meant that MFK will not be playing continental football next season unless they miraculously win the Conference League and also saw them part ways with Erling Moe after six years at the helm. Winning the tournament is nigh on impossible and they have a more realistic shot at climbing into the top 24 with a win here.

Boleslav are facing Norwegian opposition for the fifth time and they have won two and drawn one of the previous four. The Czech outfit are aiming to qualify for the knockout rounds of a UEFA club competition for the first time and a draw could be enough while a win would guarantee a top 24 spot.

We are backing the home side to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Molde 2-1 Mlada Boleslav
