Insights:
  • Stabæk have the most conceded goals (34) in Eliteserien
  • All of Mjøndalen's away-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

3-5-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Mjøndalen when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 14 matches are 15-16 (scored/conceded).

Stabæk form and stats

With 2 Eliteserien wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Stabæk are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The fans are hoping that Stabæk will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the Eliteserien game against Kristiansund (placed 3rd). The attacker Oliver Valaker Edvardsen was "man of the match" for Stabæk with a rating of 7.31/10. Edvardsen dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times. As you see from the result above, Stabæk suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Sarpsborg 08 in a game that was won 3-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Stabæk have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won five, drawn two and lost two.

Stabæk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Stabæk defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Mjøndalen form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mjøndalen so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Mjøndalen as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Sarpsborg 08 match.

The manager V. Hansen was unhappy after their last game, a Eliteserien match played at their home ground Consto Arena. Mjøndalen suffered a 1-2 loss to Rosenborg (placed 4th). Sondre Solholm Johansen, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.42. Johansen hit one key pass and won 15 of 22 duels.

A 2-3 loss hosting Tromsø before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Mjøndalen in our archives, and the results are: one win for Mjøndalen, two draws and three defeats.
