Preview of 1. Division Women: HamKam faces Start W at Briskeby Arena
On Saturday, Briskeby Arena in Hamar will host an exciting match in the 1. Division Women as HamKam takes on Start W. Both teams are looking forward to this challenge with different form curves behind them.
HamKam has had a challenging season so far with a form curve of “DLLLLWLLLLLWLL,” placing them at the bottom of the table. They have played 14 matches with only two victories. Their only home win this season was a convincing 3-0 victory over KIL / Hemne W. In terms of goals, they have averaged 0.7 goals at home but have struggled to keep their opponents from finding the net.
Start W, on the other hand, comes into this match with better form and an unbeaten streak of three matches. With a season form showing “WLDDLLLWLWDDDW,” they are coming off a convincing 2-0 win over KIL / Hemne W. Start W has been stronger at home this season with four wins there, but they will see this as an opportunity to build on their recent performance away from home. Although they have scored an average of just 0.3 goals away, they can take pride in the defensive solidity they have shown.
Looking at previous encounters between the two teams, Start W holds a psychological advantage after winning the last meeting earlier in the season 1-0 at Sparebanken Sør Arena. This may give them a mental edge as they enter Briskeby Arena this weekend.
HamKam will likely need to dig deep to find their winning form if they are to mount a challenge against a form-strong opponent in Start W. One thing is certain, both teams will be eager to secure three important points at this stage of the season. Supporters at Briskeby Arena can expect an intense match with a lot at stake.
