Molde vs KR Reykjavik
The UEFA Europa League event is in the stage of qualifying and one of the matches in this round is to bring together Molde from the Norwegian League against KR Reykjavik from Iceland, Molde getting the advantage of playing at home first for this 1st leg at Aker Stadion. Just like most other games this is their first meeting match.
KR Reykjavik themselves are currently the top standings in the Iceland League, their appearance is indeed impressive. Of the 12 matches that have been played by KR Reykjavik only get 1 defeat then 2 draws and 9 remaining games won by KR Reykjavik. Even KR Reykjavik came to this match with a record of successive wins in the last 10 matches in all competitions. This became a strong alert signal to the host Molde.
Meanwhile, Molde last season had to settle for being runner-up just below Rosenborg, from 30 games that Molde played 18 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. Last season’s Molde records are worth taking into account, but unfortunately Molde did not play well for the last 2 games where they played in a consecutive draw against Brann 1-1 and Odd 2-2.
Nonetheless, for the Norwegian League standings Molde topped the standings with a score of 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses from 15 matches already played. Even the most productive Molde goal statistics with 35 goals and conceding 15 goals, while KR Reykjavik has only 23 goals and conceded 11 goals. The difference is that Molde has a top scorer while the Norwegian League, O. Omoijuanfo, unlike KR Reykjavik, no player has led the top score. Seeing Molde’s advantages at home and differences in domestic league, chances are KR Reykjavik will be undefeated.
