Stromsgodset vs Ham-Kam - Match Preview (31.05.2025)

Preview: Stromsgodset vs Ham-Kam in the Eliteserien at Marienlyst Stadion

At Marienlyst Stadion, Stromsgodset is preparing to face Ham-Kam in what is expected to be an exciting match in the Eliteserien. Both teams have shown varying form lately, and this encounter could be a key to turning around their respective seasons.

Stromsgodset has had a tough time in the Eliteserien recently, with a form curve showing losses in four of the last five matches. Their latest game against Sandefjord ended in a 3-2 defeat, although they managed to create excitement in the second half by scoring two goals after being down 2-0 at halftime. Previously, they also lost to Bryne and Kristiansund, but they found some light when they defeated Sarpsborg 08 with a 2-3 win away.

On the other hand, Ham-Kam has also not been consistent, with a form curve of "WLLLDLDW." Their recent performance at home at Briskeby Arena earned them a crucial 2-1 victory over Molde, which might give them a mental boost going into this match. However, their defensive weaknesses have been evident, especially away, where they suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against Sarpsborg 08.

Historically, matches between these two teams have been close. The last four meetings, all at Marienlyst Stadion, have resulted in two draws and two wins for Ham-Kam. The latest encounter in 2024 ended 1-1, while Ham-Kam came out victorious 0-1 in 2023. This will give the away team some confidence as they return to Drammen for this matchup.

Defensively, Stromsgodset has struggled to keep opponents at bay. They have conceded an average of almost 2 goals per game, particularly vulnerable in the second half. Ham-Kam will look to exploit this, although their own defensive efforts have not been flawless.

Marienlyst Stadion is expected to be filled with engaged supporters hoping to see the home team turn the negative trend around. For both teams, three points could represent an important turning point in the season, ensuring an exciting match ahead.
