Match Preview: Ham-Kam vs. Molde at Briskeby Arena
Ham-Kam is preparing to host Molde in an Eliteserien matchup that promises to be an exciting game at Briskeby Arena. Both teams have had a tough start to the season, and this match could be crucial for turning things around for either side.
Ham-Kam enters this match with a recent form that shows one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five games. The positive for the hosts is that they come off a motivating 2-0 victory over Lyn in the NM Cup, which could provide them with a morale boost. At home, Ham-Kam has won one out of three matches this season, but they have struggled defensively, as indicated by the six goals conceded. Their recent performances have varied widely, with a 2-5 loss at home to Viking being a recent example.
Molde, on the other hand, also comes off a cup victory with a convincing 4-0 win against Rana, and they will be eager to build on that performance. However, they have shown inconsistent results in the league, with one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five matches. Molde’s away form has been challenging, as they have yet to secure a win on foreign soil this season.
Historically, Molde has had the upper hand in their head-to-head matchups against Ham-Kam. In their previous meetings, Molde has won clearly several times, including a 5-0 victory at home in 2022 and a 4-0 win in the away match in 2023. However, the game at Briskeby Arena in 2022 ended in a 0-0 draw, showing that Ham-Kam has the potential to shut down Molde’s attack.
Expect an intense match, where Ham-Kam will try to capitalize on their home advantage, while Molde will be looking for a much-needed away victory. Can Ham-Kam take advantage of Molde’s inconsistent form, or will the reigning strong Molde team find their rhythm at Briskeby Arena? We will soon find out when the whistle blows to kick off the match.
