There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Eliteserien table so far. Here's the Mjøndalen - Vålerenga latest:
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Mjøndalen form and stats
Only two Eliteserien home games for Mjøndalen so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Mjøndalen faced defeat in their previous match, away at Molde (1-2). A strong away win before that one, visiting Aalesund and winning 3-1.
The penalty miss from Christian Gauseth in the defeat against Molde was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

At Consto Arena, Mjøndalen has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Vålerenga form and stats
Things could have gone better for Vålerenga in their Eliteserien away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Vålerenga delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Aalesund (placed 16th) in their previous match; a Eliteserien game. Before that, Vålerenga travelled to Rosenborg and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
An inspired comeback made the scores level in Vålerenga's duel with Aalesund. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 2-2 after Aron Dønnum found the equalizer.
