Molde hosts Zorya Luhansk after a 1-1 draw in the first leg. Europa League qualifying stage, 3rd round.
Molde has a top team this year, by far the best club in Norway. They build the squad over the last few years and now have quality to do some damage at Europa League level. Molde leads the league by 8 points, lost only 1 game in 18 rounds and hope to reach the group stages of Europa League. Norwegian side defeated Gorica in last Europa League round, 4-1 at home and 1-1 away. Against Zorya they were led 1-0 but came back for a deserved 1-1 draw.

Zorya Luhanks finished 7th last year in Ukraine … they are a mid-table team in Ukraine, actually finished above their condition last season and this year will probably finish in the second half of the table. Zorya has only 1 points in the first two rounds, losing 1-2 to Metalurg Donetsk and 0-1 to Olimpik Donetsk.
The first match was pretty balanced but Molde was the more dangerous side, showed they have better quality and now in Norway I think they will prove definitively they are the better team and qualify with ease. Molde is a good side with great morale and playing in Norway will be tough for an Ukrainean team, especially a modest side like Zorya who I think does not belong at this level. Molde has a very good passing and attacking game, they are in form so I think they will not only win but also cover the handicap. We can also state that Molde usually plays good at home and Zorya is a poor traveling team. My tip will be Molde to win with a 1 goal asian handicap, no risk on this bet if Molde wins by 1 goal but good reward if they win by 2 or more. Most punters are picking Molde to win so at match time odds will probably be lower for them. Correct score prediction: Molde – Zorya Luhansk 2-0.
