League Prediction: 2nd place

Molde (Last year: 2nd in the league and the cup)
+ Jonevret is another great swedish manager.
+ Pape Pate Diouf has been good during the winter, as he has stepped out of the shadow of Mame Biram Diouf.
+ Thioune was brilliant in 2009, will he follow up? He has also had some groin problems this winter...
+ Dahle, Strandhagen, Meidell, Stamnestrø and Mame Diouf's little brother Mbar are some of the interesting talents in the squad.
+ Holm and Hoseth are solid central midfields.

- Jose Mota is on loan to Suwon Samsung Bluewings and M Diouf was sold to Manchester United.
- Goalkeeper Dørum Lilleback is injured, but Molde has borrowed Man United reserves keeper Ben Amos.
- Lacks good back up for the central defenders (Steen and Forren), Forren is likely to move to a bigger club this summer.

Player to watch:
Djibi Fall(on loan) looks like he is going to be another great Senegalese, like the two Dioufs and Makhtar Thioune. However, Molde will have to adopt their game a bit, as Fall is not the same type of striker as Mame.

Knut Olav Rindarøy (Molde), Vadim Demidov and Morten Moldskred(Rosenborg) have been included in Egil Olsen's squad for the match against Slovakia next wednesday.

PS: Check out this goal scored by Baye Djibi Fall in the match between FC Midtjylland and Molde.

Senegalese attacker to Molde

Baye Djiby Fall has signed a loan contract with Molde. The FC Lokomotiv Moskva will play for Molde until August 2010.


Fall played for OB(Denmark) in 2008, became one of the most important players, and was on top of both the assist and the scoring list. He went to Lokomotiv Moskva in March 2009.

Molde is supposedly also interested in Emmanuel Banahene Osei from Ghana and Serbian Vojislav Dragovic, according to NRK.
