Combo Double chance : Molde or draw and +1.5 goals

Molde are in decent shape and have been tough to beat lately, winning several of their recent games and only slipping up once. Start, on the other hand, have been struggling badly, losing most of their recent matches. Their last meeting ended in a draw, and the games between them often have plenty of goals.

Molde look the stronger side here, especially at home, so this one leans toward a Molde win, though a draw is also very possible.
