Molde vs Granada CF Free Betting Picks

The showdown for the qualification for the round of the last eight teams in the UEFA Europa League starts on Thursday. The hosts from Molde want to cause the surprise in the duel against Granada and shoot the favored Spaniards out of the competition. That the Norwegians would still be at the start in this phase was certainly not necessarily predictable. In the last round, the blue-whites faced TSG Hoffenheim and prevailed against the higher-rated Bundesliga club.

Molde vs Granada CF Free Betting Picks – Europa League

The Norwegians from Molde are certainly one of the biggest surprises in this year’s Europa League. It was not necessarily foreseeable that the blue-whites would make it to the top 16 teams. In the group stage, head coach Erling Moe’s team met the Gunners from London, Dundalk from Ireland and Rapid Vienna. The English prevailed clearly and won the group with six sovereign victories. Between Molde and the Austrians there was the final on the last day of the game to make it into the knockout round. A 2-2 draw is ultimately enough for the blue-whites.

To qualify directly for the international competition as a climber last year was a great success for the team of head coach Diego Martinez. The red-whites are also doing more than respectable in this year’s Europa League. In the group stage, the Nazaries faced PSV Eindhoven, PAOK Saloniki and Omonia Nicosia. Together with the Dutch, the Spaniards entered the knockout phase with ease. Second place in the table of Group E was at the end of the day.It currently doesn’t look like the southern Spaniards will be able to repeat last year’s success. After 27 completed games, the red-whites occupy eighth place in the table with 36 points. The gap to sixth place, which would qualify for participation in the European competition, is currently six points.

Are the Norwegians able to bring tension to this meeting again? Against Hoffenheim, the blue-whites turned the tables again and surprised the Bundesliga club. The guests have all the trumps in their hands. After the 2-0 win a week ago, the red-whites go into the duel with the four-time Norwegian champions. A single hit by the Spaniards would set the course for the quarter-finals.
