Sandefjord are hosting HamKam for another important game after their 1-2 result against 11th-placed Vålerenga.
- Sandefjord have the most conceded goals in the first half (24) in Eliteserien
- HamKam have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.
2 - 1 - 7 with 13-25. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for HamKam when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. HamKam play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.
HamKam could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Eliteserien game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Stabæk, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for HamKam.
Sandefjord form and stats
The story so far in the Eliteserien for Sandefjord at their home stadium (Komplett Arena) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats.
The Sandefjord crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Vålerenga here at Komplett Arena. Taaje was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.22 out of 10. The defender Taaje won 13 of 18 duels.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Viking (3-4).This is expected to be a close game, with Sandefjord perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sandefjord as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Sandefjord has won 6 of these, drawn 4 and lost 0.
Goals, goals, goals? Nobody knows the future, but we do know that 12 of the 16 most recent league matches with this club has seen three or more goals.
A decent goal production from Sandefjord in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 11 league matches. On the other hand, Sandefjord have conceded 13 goals.
HamKam form and stats
There's been little loot from HamKam's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the Eliteserien. HamKam only have 2 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 0 draws. With two straight losses from their last two away games, HamKam are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
HamKam play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-5 to Stabæk (placed 15th). As you can tell from the result, the match against Stabæk was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Bjorlo got a match rating of 7.61 in that game, top player of the team. Bjorlo scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Sarpsborg 08.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with HamKam playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 2 HamKam wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat.
Observe that 15 of this club's 20 latest league fixtures have ended with at least three goals.
HamKam find the net regularly in their away games. 15 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. There are big problems for the HamKam defense as they have conceded 34 goals in 11 away games. When HamKam is visiting a side on the bottom half, 3 of 4 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Stabæk, Aalesund, Haugesund, HamKam and Vålerenga.
