Going by the stats looks like a pretty full strength team

Playing according to Live Score

[Wull]

the stream I`m watchin has no commentary so not sure of the names but their No. 17 who scored looks a handful

They’ve got a pretty much full strength side out.

Watching the game and Molde’s front 3 look very good and dangerous when they attack. Cibicki, Haland & Hestad. Definitely will need Bogdan and our defenders to be at their best.

[fife hfc]

Watched the last twenty minutes of the first half and would be described as British style football. I have been surprised with their style of play as I thought they would be slicker in possession.

Sorry only just back on the thread but used hesgoals.

[fife hfc]

Look like a team that like to break fast on the break. They had a few chances but Lillestrøm could also had a couple. I just felt they would be better on the ball than they were and it was a physical game, with the ball played forward quickly. They will be a challenge but we have played teams like this before so their style of play should not be alien to us.

[Souter96Mac]

Think they looked a bit pedestrian at the back. Certainly from the highlights I've seen.

[monktonharp]

seen none of their play, heard they can be physical and they are 26 games into their season. is this correct? however, we have a guy that can be physical when required at the back. don't know why McGregor was a no show today but sincerely hope he is ready for the away match .

17 games into their season. I read on Friday that they are very much a counter attacking team and don’t hold onto possession much.
McGregor will be fine for Thursday.

What the score home and away in that tie?

[LReilly95]

What the score home and away in that tie?

2-1 to Glenavon when Molde were playing away but Molde then won 5-1 at home. But 2 of Molde's goals were during stoppage time, and if you look at the way the scoring went you'll notice that Glenavon pulled a goal back to make it 3-1 around the 60th minute mark and spent the rest of the game knowing 1 goal without reply would have sent them through on away goals (a bit like how Asteros would have went through if they'd scored late on in our 2nd leg). So certainly scope for optimism.

Definitely seems like we are capable of giving them a right good game then. Keep a clean sheet at home and we're in a great position.

[craigwilson911]

Their best player striker Erling Braut Haland looks like he is going to Salzburg for £9m. Let’s hope he is not in the squad.

From the very short highlights looked a half decent game with Molde a little bit fortunate to get a point, Halland looked a handful.

[norhfc]

Live in Norway and speak the lingo, just been on a Molde fans forum. They are very confident of getting into play-offs. Reason being they beat Celtic and quoted our last 5-6 outings in Europe before this year. Funny thing is they have the same worry as us, us losing McGinn and them losing Håland before the games.
Interestingly most of them fancied going to Edinburgh for the pub culture we have, but a few mentioned they would keep it for the play-off. Us football fans are so similar its frightning, their fans are underestimating us but Im sure Solskjær and his staff aren,t.

Little do they know we are a different entity these days :)

Was that Celtic under Deila or Rodgers? Can’t remember the game

Deila, beat Celtic in the groups of the Europa League home and away in 2015.

They can potentially sell a player for £9m and we get offered £2m for our best player?

I just dont get that either, not seen the guy but the leagues are similar so why the huge price difference, no idea mate.

It's mental. Does every country except Scotland have an amazing TV deal or something?

[Andy Bee]

Their top two leagues signed a TV deal until 2022 worth $278m , that may have something to do with it. :greengrin

As good as that would be for scotland, the cost of living over there might mean there paying average players what would be for us big wages.

If he's on a long contract that'll make a difference too. If we had SJM tied up for 3 or 4 more years we'd be talking 7 to 9 million.

It may not be La Liga but I bet the people of Norway watch it. Unlike in Scotland where we get English football overload and sadly most footy fans here would rather watch English football.

Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer at ER. What a legend; I love the wee man, as I'm sure you do, but this is a massive chance for Hibs. Winning the tie would be a BIG deal and evidence of real progress.

That wasn’t a dig at Norwegian football, could you see Scottish football broadcasting 3 live games per round. English football is huge here, I would say even bigger than in Scotland, the pubs are full of EPL fans here every weekend all decked out in the latest merchandise. They love their football just like the Scots.

Fair enough. We just need Sky to give us a fair deal in that case 😁

Why no loyalty points from molde game

[norwayhibs]

Their star man is I think 18 yo, and is the son of ex Leeds player Alf Inge Håland, had that horrific tackle from Roy Keane at Old Trafford. His son has burst onto the scene this year with Molde. Tbh I hadn't heard of him last season

Definitely mate. He’s one of my all time favourite players after May 1999. As you said, winning this tie would be huge for Hibs! It is though going to be much harder with McGinn looking like he is going to be away come kick off but time for the other players in his absence to step up and show we can get a result without SJM.

We’ll be doing well to get through as we’re up against a team with a bit more European experience than us.

But sitting fourth in the Norwegian league makes me think it’ll be two pretty evenly matched teams.

No McGinn would/will be a massive blow though.

Not sure it would be exceptional. Very good result but not exceptional. Over the next few seasons we need to be beating these type of teams if we want to develop to the next level.

Only concern is the fact they are 17 games into their season. Wonder how that will affect us. If we hadn’t already played 4 competitive Euro games, we’d be buggered.
