HamKam vs Sandefjord – HamKam is still looking for their first top-flight victory, having picked up just one point from the first two games of the new Eliteserien season.
After a 13-year absence, HamKam has returned to the top tier of Norwegian football. According to the primary pre-season estimates based on team talent and budget, they will have a mountain to climb if they want to avoid relegation to the first division next season.
HamKam will be managed by a new manager after Kjetil Rekdal, who guided them to the 1. Division title last season, moved to manage Rosenborg, one of the country’s heavyweights.
Jakob Michelsen, a Danish coach, took over in January. Although his team has performed admirably in preseason games, they clearly lack the ability to compete at this level, at least on defense.
As a result, HamKam conceded two goals in each of their first two games, a 2-2 draw against Lillestrom and a 2-0 loss against Tromso (a 2-1 loss).
Tomorrow, they’ll be put under a lot of strain because they’ll be facing the division’s leading scorer, Alexander Ruud Tveter.
On the first day of Sandefjord’s remarkable 1-3 win at Haugesund, the 31-year-old Norwegian attacker scored a hat-trick.
Despite this, the team coached by Hans Erik Odegaard and Andreas Tegstrom (a Norwegian-Swedish management combo) failed to cause any damage to the reigning champions, Bodo/Glimt, on Matchday 2 last weekend (a 1-2 home loss).
HamKam vs Sandefjord – Betting Analysis
It’s been three years since these two teams last clashed, and they were both in the second division at the time. Six of the past seven head-to-head games between the two teams have resulted in a home victory.
Both clubs had only scored once in their previous five meetings. Despite facing harder opponents in the first two games, Sandefjord made a far better impression. At 3.10 odds, we think there’s a lot of value in betting them to win.
We’ll also support the visitors to score two or more goals on Monday, given that HamKam has conceded two goals in each of their first two games.
