Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Molde is 7.28, compared to 6.79 for Haugesund. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Molde's highest-rated starter is M. Eikrem (7.70), while Haugesund's best-rated player is J. Eskesen (6.99).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Molde have contributed 15 goals and 24 assists this season, led by M. Eikrem (11G). Haugesund's starters account for 12 goals and 6 assists, spearheaded by S. Diarra (7G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Molde deploy 3 defenders rated — on average, against Haugesund's 4-man backline averaging 6.75. 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

Molde field 5 midfielders averaging 7.07, versus Haugesund's 5 rated 6.77. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Molde start 2 forward(s) averaging 7.70, compared to 1 for Haugesund averaging 6.95. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 79% for Molde and 46% for Haugesund. 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 14 yellow cards this season, compared to 15 for Haugesund. 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.

Age & Experience

The average age of Molde's starting XI is 32.0 (youngest: E. Hestad (30), oldest: M. Eikrem (35)), while Haugesund average 24.4 (youngest: M. Hope (19), oldest: Bruno Leite (30)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Molde's starters average 24 league appearances each, versus 8 for Haugesund. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
