- Long term absentee Joona Toivio has reportedly been back in training but is not expected to be passed fit for this match.
- Vegard Forren, who was thought to be out for the season, has also recovered quicker than expected. It is, however, uncertain if he'll feature here.
- The big question is that if the aforementioned two are injured and Ruben Gabrielsen suspended, who will play next to young Gregersen in central defennc? One option seems to be moving Babacar Sarr back into central defence, though there's really no obvious answer.
- Predicting how Molde will line up aside from that is a fool's errand as usual, as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær frequently changes both his team and his formation.
- Eirik Skaasheim is out for the rest of the season, while Bjørn Inge Utvik missed the last game and could be out again.
- Six players on Eirik Bakke's team are just one yellow card away from suspension, including Ramsland, Bolseth, Furebotn, Patronen, Raitala and Birkelund.
- Bakke has so far this season preferred a settled starting XI, so expect his team to look much like the one that claimed a draw against Brann before the international break.
