It's still early in the Eliteserien season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Aalesund - Mjøndalen preview!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Aalesund form and stats

Aalesund have less points than they have played home games in the Eliteserien so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.

Aalesund drew their last game, 1-1 away at Strømsgodset (placed 4th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Brann.

This is expected to be a close game, with Aalesund perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Aalesund as a small favourite), we find one game. Aalesund has won one of these, drawn zero and lost zero.

The manager L. Bohinen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vålerenga in only three days.

Early season league goal statistics from Aalesund's 2 home games: 3 goals, 6 conceded.

Mjøndalen form and stats

Mjøndalen are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Eliteserien, having played 2 games and collected 2 points (0 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses). Two points from the last two away games for Mjøndalen, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Home advantage was not enough for Mjøndalen in their previous game, as they lost their Eliteserien-match, hosting Kristiansund, 1-2. Before that, Mjøndalen travelled to Viking and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Mjøndalen playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Mjøndalen win, two draws and two defeats.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Eliteserien trip to Molde.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Mjøndalen has managed 1 goal and let in 1 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last four meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Aalesund, zero draws and one win for Mjøndalen. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: one game.
