Competition: Norway Eliteserien

Match begins: 17:00 (UTC)
Venue: Consto Arena (4350 seats)

Season ticket holders at Consto Arena haven't seen too many victories this season, with Mjøndalen languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Vålerenga will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Mjøndalen are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Vålerenga is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
