Mjøndalen form and stats

16 points is a decent return from 8 Obos-Ligaen games here at Consto Arena for Mjøndalen. The data says 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

Happy days for Mjøndalen in their previous game, a fixture away at Grorud (placed 15th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. A huge relief, as that was the first league victory after playing, but not winning, six matches in a row. The victory against Grorud came after Olsen's winning goal. The Mjøndalen manager Hansen was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 56th minute.

In the match before that, Mjøndalen hosted Åsane and drew the game 1-1.

A decent goal production from Mjøndalen in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 8 league matches. Mjøndalen's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
