Molde vs Bodo/Glimt Prediction
Molde have not had the title defense they expected, as they're off the pace in the title race.
However, the defending champions had a large say in who could potentially dethrone them following their rampaging win over Viking last week. They could still make more impact at the summit if they win here, apart from getting back within touching distance of the top two.
Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt's defeat in midweek halted their unbeaten momentum, and they will want to bounce back against their biggest title rivals in recent years.
Nevertheless, expect the two sides to cancel each other out in a high-scoring stalemate.
