Kristiansund BK host Molde in Eliteserien clash
Sunday afternoon sees Kristiansund BK welcome Molde to Nordmore Stadion for matchday 17 of the Eliteserien season. The hosts will be looking to improve their recent form, while Molde will aim to secure a vital three points as the campaign progresses.
Kristiansund BK's expected starting XI sees Sander Hestetun Kilen and Leander Alvheim leading the line, supported by midfielders Heine Gikling Bruseth and Jesper Isaksen. The defence is expected to be marshalled by Frederik Flex and Dan Peter Ulvestad, with Michael Lansing in goal.
Molde's predicted lineup features Trent Kone-Doherty and Caleb Zady Sery up front. The midfield is likely to comprise Eirik Hestad, Daniel Daga, and Emil Breivik, with Samukelo Kabini, Birk Risa, Sivert Hansen, and Martin Linnes forming the defensive unit, and Albert Posiadala starting in goal. Molde are notably missing Halldor Stenevik, Mats Moeller Daehli, and Vebjoern Hoff due to injury.
The hosts have endured a difficult run of results in their last ten matches, with only three wins to show. Their recent Eliteserien form has seen them fall to defeats against KFUM and Start, with a goalless draw against Sarpsborg 08 offering little respite. A significant 3-0 loss to Rosenborg highlighted their defensive frailties.
Molde's last ten outings present a mixed picture, with a notable 3-3 draw against Sarpsborg 08 and a 2-4 victory over KFUM in their most recent league fixtures. However, they have also suffered defeats, including a 1-2 loss to Brann and a 2-2 draw with Aalesund. Their attacking threat has been evident, but defensive solidity has been an issue in some of their games.
The head-to-head record between these two sides suggests a history of tight contests. In their most recent Eliteserien meeting on 16 May 2026, Molde secured a narrow 1-0 victory. However, Kristiansund BK have also emerged victorious in previous encounters, including a 2-1 win in October 2025. Their matches often provide few goals, with a 0-0 draw in a friendly in February 2026 and a 2-2 scoreline in a Cup tie in May 2025.
For Kristiansund BK, the attacking duo of Sander Hestetun Kilen and Leander Alvheim will be crucial in breaking down Molde's defence. Midfielders Heine Gikling Bruseth and Jesper Isaksen will be tasked with controlling the tempo of the game.
Molde will look to the attacking prowess of Trent Kone-Doherty and Caleb Zady Sery. Emil Breivik has been a significant contributor to Molde's attacking play, directly involved in six goals in his last ten appearances, and will be a key figure in midfield.
