Grorud form and stats

Grorud's struggle is real here at Grorud stadion with only 2 points collected from 6 Obos-Ligaen games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-2-4. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Grorud with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Brann game, 21 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

The followers are hoping that Grorud will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the game against Sogndal (placed 5th). Grorud were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against Sandnes Ulf that was lost 1-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Grorud perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Grorud as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Grorud has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

Sports bettors should know that 11 of the latest 14 league matches from these players have seen goals scored by both sides.

Grorud are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 6 played).

Mjøndalen form and stats
