Kristiansund eying up victory at struggling Mjondalen
2113
On Sunday evening, struggling Mjondalen host Kristiansund at the Consto Arena in the Norwegian Eliteserien, as the visitors look to move closer to the European spots and the home side looks to avoid the relegation zone.
Mjondalen heads into this clash having taken just one point from a possible 12 in the Eliteserien. Their poor recent run of form has seen the home side drop to 13th place in the league standings, just two points outside the relegation zone.
It has certainly not been a stellar return to the Norwegian top-flight for the home side, who prior to this season had not featured in the Eliteserien since 2015.
A poor defensive record since their return to the top-flight has not helped their cause. They have managed just one clean sheet in their ten matches in the Eliteserien all season.
Mjondalen’s have a history of poor home form in the Norwegian top-flight. The home side has won just two of their last 15 matches on home soil over their two spells in the Eliteserien.
While the home side are looking over their shoulders nervously, the visitors will be looking up at the top-three spots in the league. Kristiansund are only outside the Europa League spots by virtue of inferior goal difference. A win in this clash would certainly boost their position in the table.
They certainly head into the game as favourites, as the visitors are unbeaten in six Eliteserien matches, having recorded four victories. A goalless draw at Haugesund last time out ended a four-game winning league run for Christian Michelsen’s side.
Kristiansund’s away record has improved of late in the Norwegian top-flight, as the visitors are unbeaten in three league matches on their travels, having recorded two wins and a draw.
Forebet predicts that Kristiansund’s recent good run will continue here with the visitors grabbing a victory in a high-scoring clash.
