Fredrikstad vs Molde – Match preview (12.07.2025)

Fredrikstad hosts Molde at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion

Fredrikstad is preparing to face Molde in what promises to be an exciting match in the Eliteserien at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion. Both teams are eager to take home points in the hunt for a strong position in the league.

Fredrikstad has had variable form recently, with a record of 2 wins and 3 losses in their last five matches. The latest defeat came against Tromsø, losing 0-1 after a closely contested match. Earlier in June, they also suffered a heavy defeat to Viking, losing 0-3 away. They have had a challenging period offensively, but at home at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion, they have had sporadic good performances, including a 1-1 draw against Sarpsborg 08.

Molde, on the other hand, has shown somewhat unstable form with 2 wins and 3 losses in their last five matches. Their most recent home loss to KFUM Oslo, 2-3, exposed defensive weaknesses. However, they delivered a strong away victory against Valerenga, winning 3-2, demonstrating their ability to score and earn points on the road.

In previous meetings, Molde has historically had the upper hand against Fredrikstad. Last season in the Eliteserien, Molde won convincingly 6-1 at home at Aker Stadion, while the teams played to a 0-0 draw at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion. One cup match worth noting is that Fredrikstad defeated Molde in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw in regular time and extra time, which will always provide extra motivation for the home team.

Fredrikstad will likely aim to take advantage of the home-field advantage and establish a strong defense to hinder Molde’s dangerous attacking line. Meanwhile, Molde must build on their strong performances from previous away games this season if they are to secure all three points.

The match at Nye Fredrikstad Stadion will be an important test for both teams, and the fans can expect an exciting afternoon of high-quality football.
