Preview

Match preview

Ham-Kam welcome title contenders Bodo/Glimt to Briskeby Stadion looking to build distance from the bottom end of the table. Sitting 11th with 26 points from 22 matches, the hosts returned to winning ways with an entertaining 4-2 away victory against Start, bouncing back from earlier heavy defeats against Molde and Tromso. While Ham-Kam have won five of their 10 league matches on home turf, defensive instability remains a regular concern, evidenced by 19 goals conceded across those home fixtures.

Bodo/Glimt arrive level on 53 points at the top of Eliteserien alongside Viking, driven by an attack that has generated 56 goals in 22 league matches. The visitors enter with momentum after securing a 1-0 home victory against Borussia Dortmund, complementing recent domestic wins over Kristiansund BK and Rana. Away from home, Bodo/Glimt hold a strong record of seven wins, two draws, and two defeats in 11 league outings.

The head-to-head history reinforces Bodo/Glimt's upper hand in this matchup, having won seven of the last 10 encounters between the sides, including a 3-0 victory in their previous league meeting in July. However, with Ham-Kam fighting for mid-table safety and the visitors managing fatigue following intense midweek continental competition, this fixture demands discipline from the title challengers.

Confidence

Bodo/Glimt hold an overwhelming statistical edge across the campaign, taking 53 points from 22 matches compared to Ham-Kam's 26, alongside a goal difference superior by 49 goals. The visitors have avoided defeat in nine of their 11 away league assignments, spearheaded by A. Helmersen's 12 goals and O. Didrik Blomberg's seven assists. Head-to-head records also reflect control, with Bodo/Glimt losing only once in their last 10 meetings with Ham-Kam.

Despite Bodo/Glimt's dominance, Ham-Kam have proven competent on home ground with five victories in 10 matches, and the visitors must contend with quick turnaround fatigue following their fixture against Borussia Dortmund. Additionally, Bodo/Glimt are missing several squad options to injury, including H. Evjen, A. Mikkelsen, and J. Kitolano. Backing the visitors to win or draw covers the credible threat of points being shared while acknowledging Bodo/Glimt's superior consistency.
