Mjondalen vs Stabaek Predictions

• Mjondalen have lost their last four consecutive matches
• Stabaek are unbeaten in their last ten matches in all competitions
• Stabaek have kept clean sheets in five of their six away league games this season

Mjondalen’s early progress has ground to a halt

Mjondalen kicked off the Norwegian season unbeaten in ten matches in all competitions. Mjondalen’s early progress has quickly ground to a halt however, as they have proceeded to lose four consecutive games since that unbeaten run. Mjondalen have conceded 11 goals in their last four matches and scored just once in that period, a sorry run which included a crushing 7-0 defeat at the hands of league leaders Brann. Mjondalen boss, Vegard Hansen, has a job on his hands to motivate his side as they face the leagues meanest defence on Sunday.

Rely on the visitors’ defensive record

Stabaek’s early success in Norway’s First Division has been built largely on their impressive defensive record. Sunday’s visitors have conceded four goals in 11 league games this season and as a result hold the best defensive record in the division. Stabaek have kept clean sheets in five of their six away matches in the league this term and are fancied to go well against their hosts who have turned goal-shy in recent weeks.

Stabaek to Win and Under 2.5 Match Goals will be the main selection for Sunday’s game. The goals have really dried up for Mjondalen lately and a game against the league tightest defence will not be welcomed. The correct score prediction for this one will be a 1-0 Stabaek victory, one goal may well be all the visitors need given their defensive prowess.
