Derby Night at Aker Stadion: Molde Host Aalesund This Saturday
Aker Stadion hosts a high-stakes west-coast Eliteserien derby on Saturday evening as Molde take on Aalesund with a 6:00 PM kick-off. Molde, currently third in the table, have won each of their last three home encounters against Aalesund at the fjordside arena. It is the headline fixture of a packed autumn schedule at the shared stadium.
The Biggest Derby on the Autumn Card
Aker Stadion is bracing for one of the most anticipated fixtures of the 2026 Eliteserien season as Molde host Aalesund this Saturday evening, 19 September, with kick-off set for 6:00 PM. The west-coast rivalry between the two clubs always draws a strong atmosphere to the fjordside arena, and this edition arrives at a pivotal point in the title race.
Molde sit third in the Eliteserien table with 36 points from 20 matches played, underlining the importance of taking maximum points in front of their own supporters.
Home Fortress Intact
Molde have not lost any of their last three home matches at Aker Stadion, and the ground's artificial surface and compact stand configuration have traditionally made it a difficult venue for visiting sides. Aalesund, meanwhile, arrive having endured a difficult campaign, sitting well below Molde in the standings.
The head-to-head record at Aker Stadion also favours the hosts: Molde have won each of the last three meetings between the clubs at this ground, including a 3-0 victory the last time Aalesund made the trip north.
What to Expect on Matchday
Fans heading to Aker Stadion on Saturday are reminded of the standard ground regulations: visiting supporters must remain in the designated away section, and bottles are not permitted inside the arena. Tickets are still available through the official Molde FK ticketing platform.
With five more Eliteserien home games still to follow after Saturday, the autumn programme at Aker Stadion is only just getting started — and a derby victory would give Molde's title challenge a significant boost heading into the final stretch of the season.
