Molde

Current form
Molde made it to the 1/16 finals of the Conference League with great difficulty. In the last two rounds, the Norwegians drew with HJK (2:2) and won against Mlada Boleslav (4:3). It was only thanks to these successes that we managed to finish on the 23rd line. Hegmo's players currently do not have a full-fledged game practice, as the Norwegian championship has not started yet, they only hold friendly matches. In the first game, Jensen was sent off in the 42nd minute, which ultimately affected the result (0:1). At the same time, the opponent completely tied up the Molde attack - they scored just one shot on goal.

Lund Jensen will serve his suspension. Oyvann, Berisha, Bakke will not play today due to injuries.

12.00Tip and bets
Shamrock Rovers held the overall stage in the Conference League better than their opponent, and completely managed to hold off the Norwegians on the road. Nevertheless, today the hoops act as a clear underdog in the betting line. Molde has been without playing practice for a long time, obviously it is not impressive in attack now, and without this component the team cannot achieve success. We believe that the hosts, in their usual defensive manner, will be able to contain the enemy.
Our prediction is that Shamrock Rovers will win with an Asian handicap (+1) for a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on the total
The Hoops rely on defense, blocking the approaches to their penalty area with all their might, which could be seen from the first game. We do not think that they will deviate from their usual tactics today. There is a high probability that there will not be an abundance of goals scored in the match.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.90
Betting on corners
It should be noted that Molde has not played more than six corners in the last eight away matches in the Conference League. It is unlikely that this series will be interrupted in Dublin today.
The forecast is that Molde's total corners are less than 6.5 with a coefficient of 1.81
