- Head-to-head: Ham-Kam have won three of the last five meetings between these sides, with Sandefjord winning one and one draw.
- Home form: Sandefjord have managed just four goals in five home games in Eliteserien 2026, so under 2.5 looks likely.
- Betting angle: However, Over 2.5 goals at 1.67 is a better fit for this matchup given both teams' goals per game stats and transition-based approach.
Table says it’s a tight game, but visiting Ham-Kam have the better form
Sandefjord have been in mixed form across their last five games, winning two, drawing one and losing two, while Ham-Kam have been in a better spell of form, winning two, drawing two and losing one across the same period.
However, the table tells a different story for this Eliteserien 2026 matchup with Sandefjord eighth with 14 points from 11 games and Ham-Kam sixth with 17 from ten.
Hans Erik Oedegaard's Sandefjord are a compact, defence-first unit that can be difficult to break down when in their preferred back-three shape. But the hosts are also capable of catching teams on the break in transition, and have a good chance to do so against the more direct Ham-Kam on Sunday.
Thomas Myhre's men play with real energy and a hard edge, and are physical, pressing side who like to play fast on the counter-attack and get numbers forward. The visitors arrive in better form for this clash, having drawn 1-1 at Fredrikstad FK and won 2-1 at IFK Goteborg in their last two.
Sides set up similarly with similar goals per game
Match context:
This looks like a match where the styles match up well for an intriguing, low-scoring game at the Jotun Arena in Norway.
Home form and goals:
- Sandefjord have only won two of their five at home, drawing two and losing once.
- They have scored just four times at home, however.
- But a line of 2.5 is probably a fit for this fixture given the goals-per-game averages of both teams, particularly as Ham-Kam have averaged 1.25 away goals per game.
Odds and likely outcome:
Sandefjord are the slight favorites at 1.88, but Ham-Kam should be the selection here at 3.99 with the Draw coming in at 3.79.
The visitors have won two of their last three trips to face Sandefjord and look to have the edge on the field this Sunday. But with both sides relying on structure and counters, this could be a narrow victory for Ham-Kam or a 1-1 draw.
Goal-getters make the difference in close matches
Nikolaj Moeller is Sandefjord's main danger man, netting three of their six goals across the last five fixtures, while Aksel Baran Potur has been a sharp edge for Ham-Kam with two of his side's six goals over the same number of matches.
