Struggling Mjøndalen will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Rosenborg in the upcoming league round. It’s 13th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Mjøndalen and Rosenborg should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Rosenborg have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 6-7-5 (win-draw-loss) from 18 matches.
Mjøndalen form and stats
Mjøndalen's results here at Consto Arena in the Eliteserien have been very modest with 2 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Mjøndalen, as their goalkeeper Sosha Makani has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the Eliteserien.
A good away victory last time out for Mjøndalen, who won 1-0 against Brann (placed 8th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Haugesund in a game that was won 1-0.
Mjøndalen goalkeeper Sosha Makani did an outstanding job against Brann with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of V. Hansen when Andreas Hellum scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 81st minute.
Mjøndalen aren't scoring a lot here at Consto Arena in the league, with only 5 goals from 6 games. Mjøndalen have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Rosenborg form and stats
2-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Rosenborg in their Eliteserien matches away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Rosenborg have lost on their last two travels.
Impressive finishing from Dino Islamović (2) and Kristoffer Zachariassen secured the home win 3-2 against Aalesund in their previous game. A home win before that, celebrating 5-1 vs Sarpsborg 08.
A quick return to home after this game, as Rosenborg are hosting Breidablik in the Europa League only four days away.
The visiting Rosenborg have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 6 goals from 6 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
