Competition: Sun 11.October
Match begins: 13:30 (UTC)
Venue: Briskeby Arena (8068 seats)

HamKam hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 13th position in the Obos-Ligaen table. Visiting Sandnes Ulf holds 6th place with 28 pts.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Obos-Ligaen. Thankfully the previous game, versus Jerv, was also a home game here at Briskeby Arena. The away team is better rested.

HamKam form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Obos-Ligaen this season. HamKam, who have the fewest points (3) at home in Obos-Ligaen, have only managed 0 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Briskeby Arena. With nine home Obos-Ligaen games in a row without a win, the HamKam fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Kongsvinger game long ago, can be stopped today.

The HamKam fans got no joy from their last match, a Obos-Ligaen game also here at Briskeby Arena: A 2-3 defeat against Jerv (placed 11th). Before that match, a win away at Raufoss.
