Mjøndalen form and stats

With 2 Eliteserien wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Mjøndalen are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A good away victory last time out for Mjøndalen, who won 2-1 against Strømsgodset (placed 10th). Idar Nordby Lysgard loved the game against Strømsgodset. With a stunning seven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 2-1 victory. Manager V. Hansen felt very clever after Fredrik Brustad scored the winning goal against Strømsgodset, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 71st minute. The goalie Idar Nordby Lysgard was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.32 out of ten. Lysgard stopped the opponent with seven saves.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Viking (0-1).

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 13 matches with the results: Won one, drawn six and lost six.
