Odd BK will face an uphill task this weekend when a high-flying Molde come calling in their Eliteserien Matchday 10 tie. The Showdown will be at the Skagerak Arena on Sunday night.
Odd BK had a difficult campaign last season finishing near the relegation zone in 13th spot, and despite rough start to the new campaign, they sit just a point and a place off the half mark in ninth this season. They have managed to claim four victories from their opening 10 matches suffering six defeats in the run, but they should be confident having won two of their last three Eliteserien matches.
Another victory over Molde on Sunday could see Odd leap five places in the standings something they will be gunning for this weekend. However, it will take a miracle and a lot of effort to get anything against high-flying Molde.
Molde finished second last season behind Bodoe\Glimt, and their agenda this season still remains winning the Eliteserien title. They appear to be on the right track for that as they currently sit second on 22 points, having won seven, drawn one and lost two of their opening 10 games.
Only two points separate them and Lillestrom at the summit of the league and they will be hoping to overtake them this Sunday with a positive result against Odd. Molde will fancy their chances on Sunday as they head into the match in brilliant form having won all their last seven matches in a row across all competitions.
Also, Erling Moe’s side have won all their last six encounters against Odd BK and will be gunning to extend the run on Sunday.
