Mjøndalen form and stats

Mjøndalen have played three Eliteserien home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. The home fans are hungry for more even though Mjøndalen have been steadily collecting points here at Consto Arena through three straight draws.

Mjøndalen manager V. Hansen and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Kristiansund (placed 4th) in the Eliteserien. Goalkeeper Sosha Makani got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.42 out of ten. Makani stopped the opponent with three saves.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Strømsgodset that ended 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Mjøndalen have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won one, drawn five and lost four.

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

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Mjøndalen here at Consto Arena in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Mjøndalen are not conceding a lot of goals here at Consto Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
