An important duel in the bottom section of the Eliteserien, with both Mjøndalen and Sandefjord experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 13th place.
Mjøndalen and Sandefjord 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.
Mjøndalen's stadium, Consto Arena, has a artifical turf surface. Sandefjord have grass on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Sandefjord when playing on artifical turf; 11 wins, 8 draws and 10 losses from 29 matches. They have scored 52 goals in these games and conceded 54.
Mjøndalen form and stats
Mjøndalen's results here at Consto Arena in the Eliteserien have been very modest with 2 victories, 0 draws and 5 defeats.
Mjøndalen are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-6 away versus Odd. Ahead of that match, Mjøndalen lost 0-2 at home to Rosenborg.
As you see from the result above, Mjøndalen suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Sondre Liseth for missing a penalty kick versus Odd in the 75th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
