Mjøndalen form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eliteserien this season. Mjøndalen have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Consto Arena. It's been an uphill battle for Mjøndalen in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Haugesund game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
The fans are hoping that Mjøndalen will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Eliteserien game against Molde (placed 1st). Midfielder Isaac Twum was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.32 (out of ten) in that game. Twum hit one key pass and had 44 successful passes (of 50 total). 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. Sosha Makani had a busy but productive day in the Molde match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.

Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Mjøndalen as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Mjøndalen has won one of these, drawn five and lost six.
The manager V. Hansen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Start in only three days.
