Team form
Start
Start has struggled significantly this season, registering only 4 wins in 21 matches, placing them at the foot of the table with 16 points. Their goal-scoring has been inconsistent, averaging 1.05 goals scored while conceding 2.10 per game. In their last five outings, they have only managed to claim 1 draw against Tromsø, reflecting a concerning trend in both attack and defense, having conceded an alarming 11 goals in this period.
Ham-Kam
On the other hand, Ham-Kam sits at 13th position with 23 points, characterized by a season average of 1.38 goals scored against 2.10 conceded. Their recent form shows a mix of results; they registered promising victories but have also faced defeats, including a recent loss to Bodo/Glimt. Overall, in their last five games, they managed to find the net 8 times while conceding only 5, showcasing a more balanced scoring performance compared to their opponents.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head results between these two teams indicate a competitive rivalry. In their last five meetings, Start emerged victorious twice, including a notable 2-1 win earlier this year. Meanwhile, Ham-Kam has claimed three wins, including a match where they convincingly outperformed Start 4-1. This trend suggests that while Start has been historically competitive, the recent form of Ham-Kam may grant them a slight edge.
Key factors
Key factors to consider in this fixture include Start's defensive problems and their inability to convert scoring chances consistently. They will have to find a way to cope without key players due to injuries and suspensions, including O. Toure who is serving a red card suspension. Ham-Kam, despite their struggles, have shown capacity in offensive phases, which may benefit from Start's frail defense. The different tactical setups, both using a 5-3-2 formation, implies that this could boil down to tactical execution in the midfield.
Prediction
Given the statistics and current team performances, Start is positioned as the home side, while Ham-Kam travels with relatively better form. The pressure is on Start to utilize home advantage; however, their vulnerabilities invite scoring opportunities for Ham-Kam. This matchup is likely balanced but favors the home side operating under more pressing conditions.
Thus, taking into account the current standing and historical performances, Start is expected to secure a home win against Ham-Kam in a tightly contested affair.
