Match Preview: HamKam vs. Haugesund W in 1. Division Women
When HamKam welcomes Haugesund W to Briskeby Arena on September 7, 2025, we will witness a clash between two teams in the 1. Division Women with quite different forms.
HamKam has had a challenging season so far, with a form curve where they have lost five of their last six matches. Even though they recently managed a narrow 1-0 victory against Start W at home, they have been inconsistent in their performances. With only 11 goals scored in 16 matches, their offensive capacity is far below expectations. At home, they have only managed to win 2 out of 8 matches, and the heavy burden of 28 goals conceded highlights their defensive vulnerabilities.
On the other hand, Haugesund W comes in with significant momentum, and their form curve shows strength with eight consecutive victories after an impressive 2-1 win against Fortuna Ålesund W at home. The team has scored 38 times this season and presents themselves as a feared opponent. Haugesund’s away form is also commendable with four wins and only one loss. This bodes well for them as they now face HamKam, whom they previously defeated 2-0 away.
Looking back at earlier encounters, HamKam had an unexpected away victory against Haugesund W earlier in the season at Haugesund Sparebank Arena, but they have since struggled to recreate that success regularly.
We can expect Haugesund W to dominate the attacking play with their goal-scoring potential, especially during the critical period from the 31st to the 60th minute, while HamKam needs to strengthen their defense to avoid issues stemming from their previous weaknesses.
This match signals an intense challenge for HamKam as they face a strong Haugesund side in hopes of improving their current position in the league. Will Haugesund W maintain their winning streak, or can HamKam turn their form around to their advantage at home at Briskeby Arena? Only time will tell.
