Molde vs Larne FC

Molde will want to welcome newcomers Larne and begin their 2024–25 Conference League campaign on a good note. We anticipate this Thursday's encounter at the Aker Stadion to be quite enjoyable.

Molde is in the Conference League for the third straight year, and Larne has already created history by being the first Northern Irish team to advance to the actual UEFA competition. With 16 goals in their last four games, the hosts are in excellent scoring form.

Larne now have a golden chance to show their worth and potentially surprise a few clubs. That won't be an absurd proposal given Larne's current performance, which has seen them win their previous three games while scoring at least twice each time.

Can they keep up that high-scoring performance? Given that they have only triumphed once in their previous six away Conference League games, it would be difficult to back. Learn more about the two squads and our prediction by reading on.

The two parties will meet for the first time at this meeting.Molde has scored at least twice in each of their last four victories at home in Europe.Out of their nine away games in UEFA club competitions historically, Larne has only won two (five loses).Molde has scored the first goal in four of their past five competitive games within the first ten minutes of play.Less than three goals have been scored in eight of Larne's eleven games this season across all competitions.

Molde has participated in the last two Conference League tournaments, making them a regular in the league. They will want to at least equal their previous year's achievement of making it to the round of 16.

Molde will be eager to perform because they were demoted to this third division of European competition following their playoff defeat in the Europa League. They have a strong record going into this game, having won three of their previous four games and drawn the other.

With three victories in their last four home games, their record is remarkably comparable. Larne entered this game having won three straight, so they appear eager to make the most of their debut.

Larne's consistent form is demonstrated by their four wins and one draw in their last five games. Although Larne has a dismal road record, they should still pose a serious threat to the hosts. They won just one of their last six matches in this tournament, drew two and losing three.
