The Eliteserien season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Strømsgodset and Mjøndalen promises to be an interesting one.
This Norwegian local derby has many names:"The Battle of Buskerud", because both cities Drammen (Stromsgodset) and Mjondalen are located in the county Buskerud. "Elv Classico", because Elv is Norwegian for river and both cities share a long river. "Elv Firm" for the same reason. Whatever you call it these teams have an intense, although friendly, rivalry.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
