Viking vs Mjondalen Prediction & Match Preview

Aron Wright - May 25, 2021

Viking vs Mjondalen
Norway – Eliteserien
Date: Thursday, 27 May 2021
Kick-off at 17:00 UK/ 18:00 CET
Venue: Viking Stadion.

Mjondalen had narrowly avoided relegation the last season, and are still going through a dismal run. Meanwhile, Viking had missed out on a European ticket by a single spot, and are on a good run at home at the moment. Likely, expect a Viking victory this Thursday.

Mjondalen had finished 14^th in the table in 2020, and thus had to go through relegation playoffs to extend their stay in the top flight. Note that they had finished level on points with the 15^th placed Start, and were placed higher only due to goal difference.

Had they been placed 15^th, the team would have been booted to the lower division.

Going on, Mjondalen also have a poor h2h record against this foe over the years.

Likely, expect a Viking victory this Thursday.

Viking vs Mjondalen: Head-to-head (h2h)

• The latest encounter had ended in a 1-2 win for Viking.
• They are on a five-fixture unbeaten run, and three of these were wins.
• It’s been three years since Mjondalen last recorded a win.
• The hosts have a 100% unbeaten record in Eliteserien fixtures at this venue.
• The home team had also scored three or more goals in all but one Eliteserien game at this venue over the past decade.

Viking vs Mjondalen Prediction

Viking had won three of the past five fixtures, and they were unbeaten in 12 of the past 15 games. They have also lost just once at home since October of 2020, and in the process had recorded a three-game winning streak.

On the other hand, their counterparts had lost ten of their last thirteen road trips, and have won just thrice on the road in the past 17-month period.

In addition, Viking also have a great h2h record against this rival over the years.

Considering these observations, expect a Viking win this Thursday at their home.
