Defensive Solidity

Molde deploy 3 defenders rated — on average, against Stromsgodset's 3-man backline averaging 7.11. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 77% for Molde and 46% for Stromsgodset. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Molde's starters have collected 6 yellow cards this season, compared to 9 for Stromsgodset. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Squad Depth
