Mjondalen vs Vidar - 2. Division - Group 1

A fascinating 2. Division - Group 1 chapter awaits on May 10, 2026 when Mjondalen take on Vidar at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Tottenham face Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

Both camps will view the 2. Division - Group 1 meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. The hosts have been imperious, WWLLW in their last five underpinning an elite win rate of 60% that marks them out as genuine contenders. Vidar are searching for answers away from home, WLLLL over their last five with a campaign win rate of 10%. The contrast in attacking output — 1.8 versus 0.9 goals per game — adds an extra layer of intrigue. The Saudi Pro League side have now placed a €45 million package on the table, while Watkins himself is understood to be open to making the move.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Mjondalen will look to impose their style on home soil, while Vidar are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. It isn't clear yet that this will definitely be a winger, with Maresca and sporting director Hugo Viana flexible over their attack.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Several forward have also been under consideration but any potential arrival is linked to Marcus Rashford's future, which looks set to be in Manchester.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. With the sides so closely matched, a 2-2 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. The result at the home ground could resonate well beyond matchday in the 2. Division - Group 1 picture. The 22-year-old was likely quite high up on the list of United's midfield targets and potentially even higher after Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga blows.
