Start form and stats

The story so far for Start at their home stadium (Sparebanken Sør Arena) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Happy days for Start in their previous game, a Obos-Ligaen match away at Tromsdalen that ended with a 3-1 victory. Before that game, the home loss against Notodden with the scoreline 0-3.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Start's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won 2 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.

The manager J. Hardarson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sogndal in only three days.

A decent goal production from Start in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 matches. Start's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

HamKam form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for HamKam, who have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Obos-Ligaen, so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose). It's a growing despair in HamKam as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

HamKam failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Raufoss that ended with defeat 1-2. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting KFUM's place.

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 two games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 2 home wins.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from HamKam's away games this season with only 2 goals from 6 matches. As opposed to that, HamKam have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: 5 wins for Start, 2 draws and 0 wins for HamKam. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 3 games.
