Skeid form and stats

Skeid have played three Obos-Ligaen home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Skeid lost their last game at Kongsvinger (placed 7th) after a 0-5 scoreline. Skeid were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Hoven for missing a penalty kick versus Kongsvinger in the 49th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Start (1-4).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Skeid have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

The manager Holme will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Holmlia in only three days.

The Skeid fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Skeid are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (7 from 3 played).

Mjøndalen form and stats

Things could have gone better for Mjøndalen in their Obos-Ligaen away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

Impressive finishing from Lien, Solberg and Skistad secured the home win 3-0 against Raufoss in their previous game. Which player has bagged at least one goal five matches in a row for the away side? The answer is Lien and that is quite the feat!

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bryne wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Mjøndalen have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 1 victory, 5 draws and 4 defeats.

Goals galore? This side have played 5 consecutive league matches all featuring at least three goals (over 2.5 goals).

The schedule is very tough for Mjøndalen now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A NM Cup game at Drammens BK is waiting in only four days.

The visiting Mjøndalen have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Skeid zero wins, zero draws and Mjøndalen three victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
