Eliteserien: Molde thought to overcome Mjøndalen

Molde and Mjøndalen should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Mjøndalen form and stats

There's been little loot from Mjøndalen's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Eliteserien. Mjøndalen only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 4 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for Mjøndalen who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Mjøndalen might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Lillestrøm proved too strong as Mjøndalen slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Consto Arena. Sosha Makani was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.05. The agile goalkeeper Makani stopped the opponent with eight saves. Mjøndalen goalkeeper Sosha Makani had a great day against Lillestrøm, but despite making eight saves the loss could not be avoided.

A 1-1 draw at Stabæk's stadium before that.
