Molde vs Shamrock Rovers Prediction and Betting Tips | October 6th 2022

Molde will host Shamrock Rovers at the Aker Stadion on Thursday in another round of the UEFA Europa Conference League group stages.

The Norwegian outfit have enjoyed a very solid league campaign and are closing in on their fifth Eliteserien title. However, they have struggled to come alive in the Conference League this season, playing out a goalless draw against Gent in their first game before falling to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Djurgardens IF in their second group game.

Molde sit third in their group with just one point picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally this week.

Shamrock Rovers are also enjoying a good run of form in their domestic duties and currently sit atop the League of Ireland Premier Division standings. However, like their hosts, they have been winless on the continental stage so far this season, playing out a goalless draw against Djurgardens in their continental opener before losing 3-0 to Gent in their second match.

The visitors sit rock-bottom in the group table with just one point from an obtainable six and will aim to pick up their first win of the tournament this Thursday.
