HamKam are scrapping at Briskeby like a Kamma side desperate to climb—back-to-back losses, their Sandefjord defeat a blow despite Vidar Ari Jonsson’s goal, leaving me muttering “so close,” per sportskeeda.com. They’re projected at one win in six (1W, 1D, 4L), averaging 0.8 goals scored, 1.6 conceded. Their home form is patchy (1 goal scored, 1 conceded per game this season), with two clean sheets in their last five home games, per. Jakob Michelsen’s side, led by Jonsson’s 2 goals, is four points above the relegation zone, but injuries to Halvor Rødølen Opsahl (knee, out until June 2025) could hurt, per. Their 56% possession vs. Kristiansund showed grit, but only two shots on target vs. Sandefjord exposed bluntness, per. X posts like @SPL_stats note their relegation fight, per.

KFUM are reeling like a Kameratene side caught in Glimt’s storm—their Bodø/Glimt thrashing snapped a two-game winning streak, with Simen Hestnes’ goal a mere consolation, per sportskeeda.com. They’re projected at two wins in six (2W, 1D, 3L), averaging 1.2 goals scored, 1.4 conceded.

Their 44% possession and 10 shots on target in a 2-0 win at HamKam showed efficiency, per, but a 3-3 draw with Sandefjord in 2024 exposed defensive lapses, per.
