This is a vital clash in the bottom part of the Eliteserien, with both HamKam and Kristiansund suffering more worry than glee. This game is a typical "six-pointer" with the team playing at home positioned 12th and the away side in 16th spot.

Insights:
  • HamKam have the most matches under the total-line (7) in Eliteserien
  • Kristiansund have the most conceded goals (31) in Eliteserien

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Eliteserien. That game, against Sandefjord, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Kristiansund.
