Mjøndalen form and stats

Mjøndalen have collected 4 points from their home games so far after 1-1-1.

In their previous game, the manager V. Hansen led his Mjøndalen to a defeat in the Eliteserien match away at Molde. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Before that, Mjøndalen had a home game versus Stabæk which ended with a victory 1-0.

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 one game. Mjøndalen has won 0 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Mjøndalen are traveling soon after this match as the Eliteserien match at Rosenborg awaits in three days.

Goals decide football matches and Mjøndalen are scoring many of them at home; 6 on target from 3 matches. Mjøndalen are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).

Lillestrøm form and stats

Still no away game victory for Lillestrøm with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

There were no winners in Lillestrøm's previous match, a Eliteserien home game that ended 1-1 vs Rosenborg. A 0-4 defeat away at Bodø / Glimt before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Lillestrøm playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 1 Lillestrøm win, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

A new game in only three days for Lillestrøm, the Eliteserien home match versus Odd. Busy days.

Goals are few and far between in Lillestrøm's away games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels. The Lillestrøm manager J. Lennartsson has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Mjøndalen-Lillestrøm H2H statistics last four meetings regardless of arena: Mjøndalen 1 win, Lillestrøm 3 wins, 0 draws. 3 of these four matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
