Preview: HamKam II vs. Skedsmo in 3rd Division – Group 3
It will be an exciting showdown at Briskeby Arena when HamKam II hosts Skedsmo in the next round of 3rd Division – Group 3. Saturday’s match presents various challenges for both teams, particularly considering their form and performances so far this season.
HamKam II has had a tough season and is currently leading the table in the wrong direction with a trend showing twelve consecutive losses. Their statistics reveal some disappointing numbers with zero wins, zero draws, and a goal difference of a total of 11 scored goals against 37 conceded. They have struggled defensively with an average of 3.1 conceded goals per match, but have a glimmer of hope offensively with goals coming late in games. Particularly in their last five matches, they have lost, including a 0-3 defeat to Kongsvinger II the last time they were away.
On the other hand, Skedsmo has shown a much more balanced performance so far, with six wins and as many losses in their 12 played matches. Despite two significant losses in their last two games, including a 0-2 loss to Elverum recently, the team has demonstrated that they can score goals. Skedsmo’s offensive strengths are clear, especially in the period of 31-60 minutes where over 50% of their goals have been scored. With an attacking line that averages 2.2 goals per match, they have also managed to maintain four clean sheets throughout the season.
The recent meeting between these teams at Skedsmo stadium on artificial turf ended without goals, and HamKam II will be eager to defend their home arena in hopes of reversing their unfortunate trends.
The match at Briskeby Arena looks set to be an intense duel between a team desperate for points and a team looking to restore full rhythm in their match performances. It remains to be seen what tactics HamKam II will employ to stifle Skedsmo’s goal-hungry squad. Enthusiasts are looking forward to which way the pendulum will swing in Saturday’s clash between these two teams.
