Molde and Sarpsborg 08 meet in Eliteserien clash
Molde and Sarpsborg 08 are set to face each other at Aker Stadion on Sunday, 2 August 2026, as matchday 16 of the Eliteserien unfolds. Both sides have navigated their own paths through the season to reach this point, with Molde looking to solidify their position and Sarpsborg aiming to build on recent momentum.
Molde's journey
Molde's recent form has been mixed. They secured a notable 4-2 away victory against KFUM in their last Eliteserien fixture, but this followed a 1-2 home defeat to Brann. Prior to that, they drew 2-2 with Aalesund. Their campaign has also seen friendly matches, including a 2-1 loss to Rosenborg and a heavy 1-4 defeat against Bodoe/Glimt, though they also recorded a 5-1 win over KFUM in a friendly. League wins against Sandefjord and Kristiansund BK have been interspersed with losses to Tromsoe.
Sarpsborg 08's path
Sarpsborg 08 appear to be finding a more consistent rhythm. They come into this match on the back of a 1-0 home win against Hamarkameratene, preceded by a goalless draw with Kristiansund BK. Earlier in July, they secured a 1-0 victory over Viking. Their form in May showed a 2-1 win against Brann and a significant 2-1 victory over Molde themselves. However, they have also experienced defeats, including a 3-2 loss to Vaalerenga and a 4-0 thrashing by Lillestroem.
Team news and expected lineups
Molde are expected to be without Mats Moeller Daehli and Vebjoern Hoff due to injury. Sarpsborg 08 will be missing Bjoern Inge Utvik, who is suspended. The expected lineups suggest Molde might line up with Albert Posiadala in goal, protected by a defence including Birk Risa and Sivert Hansen. The midfield could feature Eirik Hestad and Emil Breivik, with Jalal Abdullai leading the line. Sarpsborg 08's predicted XI sees Leander Oey in goal, with a defence comprising Anders Hiim and Marius Lode. The midfield is expected to include Aimar Sher and Sander Christiansen, while Daniel Seland Karlsbakk is anticipated to be the main attacking threat.
A fixture with history
These two teams have met several times in the Eliteserien, with Sarpsborg 08 having the edge in their most recent encounters. In May 2026, Sarpsborg 08 secured a 2-1 home victory over Molde. The previous season, Sarpsborg 08 also won 1-0 at home, while Molde suffered a 0-2 defeat in their away fixture. The fixture in November 2025 ended 1-0 to Sarpsborg 08, and further back in May 2024, Sarpsborg 08 won 4-2 at home, having drawn 2-2 in the reverse fixture in November 2025.
What to watch for
Molde will be looking to address defensive frailties, particularly in the latter stages of matches, having conceded five goals after the 75th minute in their last nine games. Sarpsborg 08, meanwhile, will aim to build on their recent defensive solidity and attacking threat. The return fixture in May saw Sarpsborg 08 emerge victorious, and they will be motivated to repeat that success. The absence of key players for both sides could also influence the dynamic of the game.
