HamKam form and stats

The complete Eliteserien stats playing at home this season for HamKam, who have the most conceded goals (29) in Eliteserien, are 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). When HamKam hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Sandefjord, HamKam, Vålerenga, Rosenborg and Strømsgodset), they have won 2 of 2 matches! Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for HamKam with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Lillestrøm game, 38 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

HamKam faced defeat in their previous match, away at Brann (1-2). The talented striker Kirkevold outshone all the other players in that fixture and was awarded a match rating of 7.83 out of 10. Kirkevold scored one goal, hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.

In the game before, a nice away win at Gjøvik-Lyn. A NM Cup match. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how HamKam have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.
