Molde visit the Komplett Arena on Saturday (August 12) to face Sandefjord in the Eliteserien, looking to extend their winning run in the league to five games.
The reigning Norwegian champions, who clinched the top-flight title after three years, are on a roll, winning their last four league games and going unbeaten in their last six. This upturn in form has seen them climb up to fourth in the standings with 32 points in 17 games.
Sandefjord have accrued exactly half as many points as Molde in one fewer game and languish in 12th in the Eliteserien. However, there have been signs of improvement lately. The Whalers are coming off consecutive wins after going five five games without one.
