HamKam vs Fredrikstad prediction: Can Kamma spring an upset?
Key stats
- HamKam are winless in four straight games in the league (D2, L2).
- The hosts have conceded an average of almost two goals per game at home this season.
- Fredrikstad are winless in seven of their eight Eliteserien games (D2, L5).
- The Aristocrats haven’t kept a clean sheet in nine competitive fixtures.
Correct score prediction: HamKam 1-1 Fredrikstad
HamKam are perched on the edge of the drop zone, struggling to catchup to their nearest rivals, although they have a game in hand. Thomas Myhre’s side possess the second-worst offense in the top tier, with 13 goals scored in as many matches. Their inability to rack in the goals might prove costly as they welcome Fredrikstad at home, where they’ve won just once in their last five outings.
Meanwhile, Andreas Hagen’s men are not in best shape either, although their recent 4-2 win over Molde proves they could inflict damage against a HamKam side they’ve beaten in each of their last four meetings. However, we see the two sides share spoils in this Eliteserien encounter.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Away side with the backing
- HOME: 6/4 (2.50) – 40%
- DRAW: 21/10 (3.10) – 32%
- AWAY: 29/20 (2.45) – 40%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Sitting just five points from the top-four, the visitors have triumphed just once in their last six fixtures. Fredrikstad carry odds of 29/20 (2.45), implying similar chances of victory as HamKam.
