Shamrock’s home advantage has mattered – they’ve kept a clean sheet in three of their four home games, while Molde’s away record shows they concede more than they score.

Key Players to Watch
For Shamrock, the midfield engine is Jordan Lee. He’s been delivering 0.6 assists per game and covers a lot of ground. If he can link up with striker Mike Dunn, who’s netted six in the last ten, Shamrock will have a real chance to break through Molde’s back line.
Molde’s main threat comes from winger Emil Nord. His pace on the flank has produced three goals and two assists in the past month. Pair him with the experienced striker Lars Petrovic, who scores from tight angles, and Molde could be the team that scores the decisive goal.
Both coaches also love set‑pieces. Expect a few corners and free‑kick opportunities – especially since Shamrock’s centre‑back Chris Hayes is a proven header of the ball.
