An exciting match awaits in the Norwegian 3rd Division – Girone 3 as HamKam II takes on Åssiden IF at Briskeby Arena. Both teams are eager to turn around a challenging season so far with a positive result in this match.
HamKam II is desperate to improve their form, having lost all seven of their opening matches this season. They have struggled to find the back of the net, with only six goals scored and a total of 19 goals conceded so far. Their 1-3 loss to Gjøndvik-Lyn had the highest score in home matches. Although they have struggled offensively at home, they managed to score two goals in a tough away match against Nordstrand.

Their biggest victory came when they steamrolled Ullensaker / Kisa II with a 6-0 win at home. They have a slightly better scoring average of 1.9 goals per game, but have also been vulnerable defensively with the same average for goals conceded.
Considering the recent performances of both teams, HamKam II has been inferior with narrow defeats, including a 0-1 loss to Lillehammer at home. Åssiden IF recently lost 6-2 to Kongsvinger II, which highlighted their defensive weaknesses, particularly away from home.

This encounter will be the first of two meetings this season, with a return fixture scheduled at Åssiden Stadion in July. Fans can expect an intense match where both teams will try to capture the necessary points. With attendance at Briskeby Arena being critical to both teams’ fight for much-needed success, fans from both sides may need to hold their breath after this match, as table positions could be seriously impacted.
