Two sides currently sitting outside the qualifying spots in Group H will lock horns in the Europa League on Thursday. Molde and Häcken both come into this showdown having lost each of their opening two matches, meaning that only a win will do for both sides this week.
Action in Group H in the Europa League continues on Thursday, as Häcken and Molde go in search of their first victory in the competition. Molde will have the home field advantage on Thursday, as they look to end a two-match losing run. The Norwegian side has scored just once in their opening two matches, and they have allowed three goals.
Häcken will also be looking for a big performance this week, as they have suffered defeats in each of their opening two matches in the Europa League this term. They have already conceded five goals across their outings, and qualification already appears to be a tall order as they sit six points from the qualifying spots in the current standings.
Häcken have a poor recent record in European competition, as they have lost all four matches that they have played across all fixtures. Two of their defeats have come in the group stage this term, while they also lost both matches in their 2007-08 UEFA Cup campaign. Across those matches, they have conceded a huge 13 goals and they have found the back of the net on just one occasion.
Molde will also have a point to prove after disappointing in Europe in recent seasons. They will be looking to avoid losing three straight matches in the competition for the first time since November 2012 this week. But, the Swedes will see this as their big opportunity to finally gain a victory.
Molde has a poor record against Swedish opposition, as they have lost each of their previous three in major European competitions. Across that period, they have conceded 12 times. However, they have never previous come up against Häcken. Häcken will be coming up against Norwegian opposition for the first time.
This looks a challenging game to call in the Europa League this week, as both sides have underperformed so far this term. However, the narrow preference is for the home side. Molde has better quality in the final third, and this could be an ideal opportunity to improve their record against Swedish opposition.
