Preview: Ham-Kam Faces KFUM Oslo in Eliteserien
Ham-Kam hosts KFUM Oslo at Briskeby Arena in an exciting Eliteserien match this weekend. Both teams enter this game with similar form, as they have each won one and lost three of their last four matches. Therefore, it is difficult to predict a clear favorite when these two teams meet.
The home team Ham-Kam started the season with a victory but has since fallen back with three consecutive league losses. Their only win this season came in the NM Cup against Lørenskog, where they won 1-0. Ham-Kam’s defense appears to be a weakness, as they have conceded 11 goals in the first four matches, averaging 2.8 goals against per game. Their attack has managed to score only four goals in total, all at home. Briskeby Arena may offer some form of optimism for the home team, having shown some ability to score there.
KFUM Oslo has had a similar start to the season as Ham-Kam. They also began the season with a victory in the NM Cup, and from their cup performance, they can take with them a dominant 5-1 win against SF Grei. However, in the Eliteserien, they have struggled, and like Ham-Kam, have only managed to win one match. KFUM Oslo’s attack has been somewhat better than Ham-Kam’s, with five goals in the four matches, but they also have a leaky defense with 10 goals conceded.
Previous meetings between the teams show that they have faced tight competition, as they have drawn in three of the last five encounters. Their most recent match in Eliteserien in April 2024 ended 1-1. The game at Briskeby Arena thus provides an opportunity for both Ham-Kam and KFUM Oslo to improve their league position and avenge previous results.
Matches at Briskeby Arena tend to be close, and with both teams eager for a much-needed victory, fans can expect an intense and hard-fought contest. It will be interesting to see if Ham-Kam’s defense can hold up against KFUM Oslo’s attack, or if it will be KFUM Oslo who can best exploit Ham-Kam’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Join us when the match whistle blows on Saturday, as this is guaranteed to be a closely contested affair in Eliteserien at Briskeby Arena!
