Both these teams have struggled so far, but three points in this important fixture would certainly help. Get ready for Mjøndalen - Tromsø!

Insights:
  • Mjøndalen have the most dropped points from leading position (13) in Eliteserien
  • Tromsø is in the worst form (0-2-4)

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

These teams have little in common geographically as Tromsø have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
