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 Viking will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

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.

Mjøndalen form and stats

Mjøndalen's struggle is real here at Consto Arena with only 6 points collected from 8 Eliteserien games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-0-6. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Mjøndalen with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Brann game, 42 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Mjøndalen, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Stress levels are on the rise for Mjøndalen's attacking players as they have now played 266 minutes without scoring in a league game. T. Brochmann was their last goal scorer.

Mjøndalen faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sarpsborg 08 (0-2). Ahead of that match, Mjøndalen lost 0-2 at home to Sandefjord.

Mjøndalen have scored 5 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Mjøndalen defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Viking form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Viking playing as the away team in the Eliteserien this season. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Viking hope to make it five in this match. Viking love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Viking had fun at their own home (Consto Arena) last time out, beating Aalesund 5-2. Joe Bell, Rolf Daniel Vikstøl, Veton Berisha and Zymer Bytyqi (2) scored. A 0-2 loss hosting Aberdeen before that.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Viking, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Viking have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 13 goals have been scored. Viking have conceded 19 goals in these games.
