The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Haugesund are in the 9th position while the guesting Mjøndalen worry at 15th.
- Haugesund have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Mjøndalen has the fewest scored goals (21) in Eliteserien
It's no vacation for neither Haugesund nor Mjøndalen as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
3-3-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Mjøndalen when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those ten matches are 11-12 (scored/conceded).
Relegation threatens Haugesund who should definitely be looking for some points here. Mjøndalen are struggling to avoid relegation.
Haugesund form and stats
6-2-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Eliteserien numbers at home for Haugesund so far this season.
In their previous game, the manager J. Grindhaug led his Haugesund to a defeat in the Eliteserien match away at Molde. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Haugesund Stadion. Ahead of that match, Haugesund won a home game hosting Sandefjord (3-2).
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Haugesund's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played eight games, won five matches, drawn two and lost one.
Haugesund are traveling soon after this match as the Eliteserien match at Strømsgodset awaits in four days.
Haugesund have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Haugesund Stadion with 21 goals in 13 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Haugesund defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Mjøndalen form and stats
Mjøndalen, who have the fewest scored goals (21) in Eliteserien, have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Eliteserien, after 2-2-9 (13 played). A depressing five defeats in a row for Mjøndalen in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Brann.
Mjøndalen have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 186 minutes ago. S. Aasmundsen was the goal scorer.
Home advantage was not enough for Mjøndalen in their previous game, as they lost their Eliteserien-match, hosting Stabæk, 0-1. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Kristiansund's place.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Mjøndalen playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, one draw and two home wins.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Start in just four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mjøndalen as they have only managed to score 9 times from 13 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Mjøndalen have conceded 25 goals in their away games.
