Molde vs Glenavon Prediction & Betting tips
The surprising defeat in Northern Ireland of the current 3rd place in the Norwegian league – the strongest that come into play in this 1st qualifying round of European competitions – means that for the return the Scandinavians are only worth or win by 2 goals of difference or win by 1 goal getting at least 3.
Although it is 6 points behind the leader, the Brann Bergen, paradoxically the defeat in Glenavon has reached Molde at its best league moment.
I say this because he has 3 clear victories against Valerenga Oslo (5-1 on July 8), the leader Brann Bergen (0-4 on July 1), and Stabaek (3-0 on June 23).
With 31 goals scored in 16 games, Molde is also the top scorer in his league.
Molde disputed this 1st preliminary of the Europa League as current runner-up in the Norwegian league, which finished it 7 points behind the champion Rosenborg, with 18 wins, 6 draws, and 8 defeats.
Although he did not participate in European competitions since the 2014/2015 season, he has 3 leagues and 4 Norwegian coaps in his showcases, and in 2014 he doubled for the first time in his history.
Just completed the equator of the Norwegian league, with 16 days played out of 30, Molde comes much more shot than a Glenavon who will not start his Northern Ireland league until August 4 when he receives Linfield.
In the league of Northern Ireland, which of course is very inferior in all his teams to the Norwegian, Glenavon finished last season 3rd place, 17 points behind the runner-up Coleraine and 19 points behind the champion Crusaders.
It was the first team in Northern Ireland to contest the European Cup, back in the 50s, and has 13 appearances in continental competitions.
However, he has never passed the 2nd round of a continental tournament, and since the 95-96 season he has never passed the previous preliminary rounds.
