Mjøndalen hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 15th position in the Eliteserien table. Visiting Haugesund holds 10th place with 15 pts.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

11-8-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Haugesund when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 27 matches are 42-36 (scored/conceded).
