There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Eliteserien table so far. Here's the Strømsgodset - Mjøndalen latest:
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.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Strømsgodset and Mjøndalen.
Strømsgodset form and stats
Strømsgodset have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Eliteserien. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Strømsgodset have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Strømsgodset faced defeat in their previous match, away at Rosenborg (0-3). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Kristiansund.
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 Strømsgodset have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost zero.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Strømsgodset as they have a new game in only four days, a Eliteserien match thankfully also at home. Molde are visiting.
Strømsgodset has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. 3 goals have been conceded.
Mjøndalen form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Eliteserien travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Mjøndalen might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Vålerenga proved too strong as Mjøndalen slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Consto Arena. A 1-2 defeat away at Molde before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Mjøndalen playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were one Mjøndalen win, two draws and two defeats.
After this away game Mjøndalen return home for a Eliteserien game against Bodø / Glimt. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Mjøndalen find the net regularly in their away games. 5 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Mjøndalen in these games.
