Important face-off in the lower section of the Eliteserien, with both HamKam and Strømsgodset enduring more worry than pleasure. This game is a real "six-pointer" with the hosting team at 13th and the away side in 11th place.

Insights:
  • HamKam have the most matches under the total-line (12) in Eliteserien
  • Strømsgodset have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

HamKam and Strømsgodset should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

HamKam form and stats

HamKam have played 13 Eliteserien games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-5-4 (wins-draws-losses). When HamKam hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Kristiansund, Jerv, Aalesund, Sandefjord and HamKam), they have won 2 of 4 matches!

HamKam are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 221 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Melgalvis).

The HamKam coach Michelsen and his pawns return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Aalesund (placed 12th). Melgalvis, defender, was given a rating of 7.72/10 in that game, top of the team. Melgalvis hit three key passes and won 9 of 13 duels.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-5 away at Molde.

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 8 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 3.

HamKam are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 13 games. 14 goals have been conceded.

Strømsgodset form and stats

Strømsgodset have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Eliteserien, after 2-3-8 (13 played). A depressing four defeats in a row for Strømsgodset in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Sandefjord.

Strømsgodset lost away at Rosenborg (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Midfield player Stengel was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.33/10. Stengel hit two key passes and had 46 successful passes (of 48 total).

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Tromsø.

We have checked recent matches where Strømsgodset have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 3 victories, 1 draw and 9 defeats.

Take note that 10 of this club's 11 latest league fixtures have ended with three or more goals.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Strømsgodset have conceded 24 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
