HamKam vs Odd BK Predictions

• HamKam have seen under 2.5 goals scored in each of their last four outings.
• The visitors, meanwhile, heave scored just once in their last five matches.
• Odd have scored just seven goals in their nine Eliteserien games, failing to net in five of them.

Solid hosts looking for a win

HamKam extended their unbeaten run in the Norwegian Eliteserien to six games with a 1-1 draw with Viking FK last time out, although each of their last five matches have been stalemates. Indeed, Jakob Michelsen’s men sit 11^th in the 16-team division despite losing just one game all season, but should be hopeful of three points against lowly Odd.

HamKam have established a reputation as a sold outfit after conceding just nine goals this term, a record beaten by just four teams – the current top three and a Rosenborg side which has played a game fewer. However, the hosts’ record of just 11 goals scored suggests room for improvement at the other end, and each of their last four contests have contained a maximum of just two goals.

Their visitors, meanwhile, approach this contest in poor form after suffering five defeats in their last six games, only beating struggling Jerv during that time. Odd have scored just seven goals in their nine games this season, failing to score on four of their last five outings and managing just a single goal throughout that run.

Low-scoring affair looks likely

While HamKam should be confident of snapping a five-match run of draws against their lowly visitors, their inability to turn one point into three makes backing them outright a difficult sell.

Turning to the goals markets, however, makes perfect sense ahead of a meeting between two sides facing difficulties at the sharp end of the pitch, with under 2.5 goals a strong play. A 1-0 home win, meanwhile, looks a decent correct score prediction with Odd losing all four of their away games.
