Reasoning	9 games into their season and Moss FK find themselves 5 points and a game in hand off leaders Hamarkamaratene, they will look to shorten this deficit when they face recently promoted Mandalskameratene. Unfortunately for the away side, they are coming up against one for the two teams in the league that have a 100% home record, and with their away form 0% (not even a draw) in 4 matches, it will be a very hard tie for the away side. In their last 4 home games Moss have scored a handy 9, while only conceding 2 goals. If only they could extend this brilliant form into their away games they would be top of the league. But that hasn't been the case of late, and losing 3 of their away games this season and scoring 3 while conceding 7. However, worries of away performances will not be in the minds of the home side, not after the morale boosting 0-1 victory over Honefoss BK last Thursday. With tricky matches for Molde FK (at home to Tromsdalen UIL) and FK Bodo Glimt (away to Bryne FK), Moss could find themselves in 2nd place come the end of the day, while Mandalskameratene will be bottom if Sparta Sarpsborg can pick up a win against Honefoss BK (who are suffering a slight dip in form in recent weeks). Based upon Moss FK's home form alone there could be a tidy result and a few goals put past Mandalskameratene, but on the road this season the away side have been extremely poor. No other team between the Adeccoligaen & Tippeligaen have performed so poorly. They have lost all their games (as mentioned earlier), scored only 2, and conceded 17! Their 2 goals have come against top half teams - FK Haugesund (and went on to lose 2-1) and against FK Bodo Glimt (who put 8 goals past them). Taking that into account, a goal for the away side is not impossible, and they may get it. But it’s believed is still that it's not a question of whether Moss FK will win, but by how much. Only once (from 4) this season have the home side won by 2 goals. But this fixture sees them pitted against an entirely different class of opponent, a team who have lost by 3 goals or more in 75% of their away fixtures this season - not just against top teams too (they lost 4-0 to Lov Ham Bergen, handing the 12th placed team their first win in 7 games). Prediction: 3-1

Bodo Glimt in danger of their second consecutive loss after a great start against mainly bad opponents...both teams play an open game and have scored and conceded, neither team is ever out of a game.

Moss plays home to Mandalskamaratene, which is a lot of fun to say. The price seems more than fair considering that Moss is in 4th, 4-0-0 at home with a 9-2 goal differential, whereas Mandals is 0-0-4 on the road with a 2-17 differential. Moss being in 4th instead of first should guard aginst their being complacent...I expect a right thrashing.

HT: Moss FK 2-0 Mandalskamerarene

An 8 minute double put the home side up 2-0 and they haven't looked back from there, hopefully they can grab a few more in the second half and put the game to bed.

FT: Moss FK 3-0 Mandalskameratene

With the score nicely in favour of the home side at 2-0, a 74rd minute red card for Pedersen and an 84th minute goal from Askar ended any farfetched hopes of a Mandalskameratene revival and the home side galloped to the win everyone expected.

The win would have taken Moss FK upto 2nd in the league and 2 points away from leaders Hamarkamaratene, had Molde and Bodo not won. So instead they retain their 4th place, still 2 points away though, and a win next weekend away to Hamarkamaratene can see them snatch the top spot.

For Mandalskameratene, their loss has seen them fall to bottom place after Sparta Sarpsborg recorded an impressive 3-0 victory over Honefoss.

One goal off with the prediction, a nice strong victory nevertheless and exceeded the AH too.
