HamKam - Sarpsborg 08 predictions

HamKam should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Sarpsborg 08 can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating HamKam on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

HamKam’s 1:1 draw in the previous round may seem like a mediocre result at best, but the path to it wasn’t easy. They were losing at half-time as a visiting team against considerably stronger opponents - Strømsgodset , and it took a lot of effort to equalize after that point.

Sarpsborg 08 are hoping to earn some points after losing to Fredrikstad in the previous round. To be fair, their loss was narrow, and the 2.95 clearly implied that losing was quite possible. Still, their home supporters were hoping for better performance.

HamKam have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

Our confidence that Sarpsborg 08 will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 2.09. They soundly defeated Sarpsborg 08 last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Sunday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.85 at Pncl.
