Competition: Sun 10.April
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Alfheim Stadion (6687 seats)

It's only fixture two of the Eliteserien for these sides. and there's points to play for here at Alfheim Stadion as Tromsø greet HamKam. Don't miss this preview!

These teams have little in common geographically as HamKam have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Tromsø form and stats

In the previous season, Tromsø's league stats were 8 wins, 11 draws and 11 losses, results that produced 12th position in the Obos-Ligaen. In these 30 matches they scored 33 goals and conceded 44. Appearing at their own stadium in the previous season Tromsø produced 3-6-6 (win-draw-lost) with 16 goals and 21 conceded.

Mikkelsen was the last player to score a league goal for Tromsø and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Tromsø haven't scored in 237 minutes.

No payout for Tromsø in their previous match, an away game at Odd that ended in defeat 0-2. Jenssen (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.55/10. Jenssen hit two key passes and had 50 successful passes (of 62 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Viking that was lost 0-2.

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 Tromsø have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won three times, drawn three and lost four.

Let's have a look at how HamKam performed last season in the Obos-Ligaen: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 21 victories, 6 draws and 3 defeats. In total they scored 62 and conceded 21 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 5 and lost 1 with 26/8 goals scored/conceded. In general it has been a productive period now for HamKam as they haven't lost any of their last 18 games.

HamKam's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Lillestrøm that finished 2-2. The attacker Eriksen got a match rating of 9.01 in that game. Eriksen scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Prior to that result HamKam won their away game at Grorud in the Obos-Ligaen. The scoreline was 2-1.
