Molde are playing in this competition for the third time. They are in good form, having scored 16 goals in their last four games and climbing to third spot in the Norwegian Eliteserien as they keep their slim hopes of a title win alive.

They missed out on UEFA Europa League qualification after losing a penalty shootout against Elfsborg in Sweden in August.

Larne have won successive NIFL Premiership titles and come into this game on a five-game unbeaten streak domestically following Friday's win over 10-man Cliftonville.

This will be the biggest game in the history of the club, which has been around since 1889, and a first meeting between these two sides.
