Crucial shoot-out in the lower part of the Eliteserien, with both Odd and Mjøndalen suffering more concern than bliss. This fixture is a real "six-pointer" with the host team positioned 13th and the guests in 15th position.

Insights:
  • Odd have the most conceded goals in the first half (24) in Eliteserien
  • Mjøndalen have the fewest scored goals in the first half (8) in Eliteserien

It's no vacation for neither Odd nor Mjøndalen as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Odd form and stats

The overall Eliteserien statistics at home this season for Odd are 4-3-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Odd are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Tromsø. Magnus Lekven, defender, was given a rating of 8.41/10 in that game, top of the team. Lekven won 1 of 2 duels.

In the match before that, Odd hosted Brann and drew the game 3-3.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Odd's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played seven games, won five matches, drawn one and lost one.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (22 in 11 games), Odd's attacking play is working. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.

Mjøndalen form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mjøndalen so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-7 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Mjøndalen have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Sandefjord game.

Lars Olden Larsen (2), Kent Havard Eriksen, Isaac Twum and Benjamin Stokke scored in Mjøndalen's previous match, the home game against Kristiansund that ended 5-0. As you can tell from the results above, Mjøndalen was very dominant against Kristiansund, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Lars Olden Larsen (2), Kent Havard Eriksen, Isaac Twum and Benjamin Stokke providing the goals. Lars Olden Larsen, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.81. Larsen scored two goals.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Tromsø's place.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Mjøndalen playing away, we found six games. Results were one away win, one draw and four home wins.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mjøndalen as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Mjøndalen have conceded 25 goals in these games.
