Mjøndalen form and stats
Mjøndalen's struggle is real here at Consto Arena with only 7 points collected from 10 Eliteserien games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-5. All in all it has been a very rough period for Mjøndalen who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Haugesund, 85 days ago.
Mjøndalen lost their last game at Rosenborg (placed 3rd) after a 1-3 scoreline. The versatile forward Fredrik Brustad outperformed all the other footballers in that match and received a match rating of 7.3 out of 10. Brustad hit two key passes.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Start (2-4).This is expected to be a close game, with Mjøndalen perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Mjøndalen as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Mjøndalen has won one of these, drawn six and lost six.
