Eliteserien: We're previewing an intriguing and very important game starring Rosenborg and HamKam at Lerkendal Stadion. They both need three points!
- Rosenborg haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
- HamKam have the most conceded goals (19) in Eliteserien
This football field uses grass, unlike HamKam's home ground. The last eight games by the away side on grass have generated 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Rosenborg form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Rosenborg have to build on here at Lerkendal Stadion in the Eliteserien. When Rosenborg hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Sandefjord, Aalesund, Haugesund, Rosenborg and Strømsgodset), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
The fans are hoping that Rosenborg will fight back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away defeat in the NM Cup fixture against Stjørdals-Blink.
Prior to that, an away loss at Brann in the Eliteserien.The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Rosenborg matches with similar probabilities have ended with 4 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats (from 5 games).
Rosenborg have scored {4 league goals} here from 5 matches, not a lot. Rosenborg's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 6 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. Rosenborg has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.
HamKam form and stats
It's not happening yet for HamKam on their Eliteserien travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Michelsen, the HamKam manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
HamKam have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 198 minutes ago. Melgalvis was the goal scorer.
Two travels in a row for HamKam, whose boss Michelsen could celebrate last time after the NM Cup win against Mjølner.
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Lillestrøm in the Eliteserien.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and HamKam playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 0 away wins, 3 draws and 3 home wins.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only two days as another away game awaits: The NM Cup trip to Bærum.
HamKam has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 5 goals from 3 games. HamKam can't defend away. 13 goals have been scored by the opposition in 3 matches, an average of more than three per game.
