Lars's Verdict
The model assigns Molde a 45.7% chance to win, the strongest single‑outcome probability among the markets.
Show the maths
With Molde averaging 2.3 expected goals and Tromso averaging 2.0, the model gives a 77.7% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 22.3% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Combined expected goals of 4.3 (Molde 2.3 + Tromso 2.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 80.2% chance against 19.8% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Molde at 45.7%, the draw at 19.7%, and Tromso at 34.5% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-1 at 7.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Molde
Molde's last five league results read D‑L‑W‑D‑L, including a 4‑2 away win at KFUM Oslo and a 3‑3 home draw with Sarpsborg 08 FF. The win shows they can score heavily, while the two draws and two defeats underline inconsistency, reinforcing the need for a home win to capitalize on their 2.3 xG.
Tromso
Tromsø's recent run is D‑D‑W‑W‑W, highlighted by a 4‑0 home victory over Valerenga and a 6‑2 away win at Aalesund. The three straight wins demonstrate strong attacking form, yet the earlier draws suggest they may struggle to keep a clean sheet against Molde's home defence.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Molde have won three times (2‑0 in 2025, 5‑3 in 2024, and 2‑0 in 2024) while Tromsø have won twice, the most recent being a 2‑0 win in May 2026, indicating a relatively even rivalry but a slight edge for Molde.
