Molde vs Aalesund: Over 2.5 goals
Molde's 2.3 expected goals versus Aalesund's 1.0 points to a high‑scoring clash, with the model assigning a 64% chance of over 2.5 goals.
Both sides arrive with contrasting recent form – Molde on a four‑match winning streak and Aalesund wobbling between draws and losses – setting up a test of Molde's attacking firepower against a leaky Aalesund defense.
Lars's Verdict
The model sees a 64% chance of more than two and a half goals, reflecting Molde's potent attack and Aalesund's porous defence.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Molde at 66.5%, the draw at 18.5%, and Aalesund at 15.0% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-0 at 9.8% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
