Football Bet of the Day: Start the week with a bang

Kevin Hatchard returns to the tiller, and he's sailing us to Norway first.

Molde to play out another thriller

Start v Molde
Monday 29 October, 18:00

As it turned out, Le Classique wasn't quite the classic that Tobias hoped for, and PSG's 2-0 win at Marseille left him halfway to heaven with his Over 3.5 Goals bet.

We'll kick off our week in Norway, because Start are up against Molde in the Eliteserien, and we're hoping to be entertained.

Start are hovering above the dropzone, but have been on a survival charge of late, winning four of their last five matches in the league. An increase in offensive output has underpinned that improvement - Start have scored at least twice in five of their last six games in league and cup. It's therefore no surprise that all bar one of those six matches has featured at least three goals.

Molde are trying to secure at least a top-three finish, and are also on strong form, having claimed 13 points from their last five games. You have to go back to June for the last time that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team failed to score in the league, and 14 of their last 19 league games have seen an Over 2.5 Goals bet land.

Four of the last five meetings between these teams have featured at least three goals, and I don't think this clash will buck that trend. I'll back Over 2.5 Goals at 1.77.
