Last Game: Molde 1-1 HamKam
Sunday, December 3 at 4pm in Norwegian Eliteserien

We said: Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Molde

While Molde have far more to play for in the final round of group games, we can only envisage another triumph for Die Werkself at the BayArena on Thursday. Still unbeaten in all competitions and having won all five Europa League matches so far, Alonso's men are full of confidence and momentum, and with more quality all over the pitch than their hosts, they should come out on top on home turf.
