Both clubs enter the clash with contrasting recent results – Ham‑Kam have finally broken a run of defeats with a 3‑0 win, while Aalesund continue to leak goals despite a series of draws. The fixture pits a side that has shown a sudden offensive spark against a visitor that has struggled to keep the net clean.

Lars's Verdict

Strong
Ham-Kam to win Lost Strong lean Strong · Home edge

The model’s 58.4% win probability, backed by a 1.9 xG advantage and a recent 3‑0 away win, makes a home victory the logical choice.

Show the maths
Ham‑Kam’s expected goals sit at 1.9 while Aalesund sit at 1.0, giving the home side a +0.9 xG margin. The model translates that margin into a 58.4% chance of a Ham‑Kam win, compared with a 22.1% draw and 19.5% away win. The 3‑0 victory over Valerenga adds recent proof that the team can convert that xG edge into goals, reinforcing the win probability.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 53.7% model probability

With Ham-Kam averaging 1.9 expected goals and Aalesund averaging 1.0, the model gives a 53.7% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 46.3% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Ham-Kam 1.9, Aalesund 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 53.7% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 46.3% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Lost 55.4% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.9 (Ham-Kam 1.9 + Aalesund 1.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 55.4% chance against 44.6% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Ham-Kam 1.9 + Aalesund 1.0 = 2.9 combined): 55.4% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 44.6% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Ham-Kam at 58.4%, the draw at 22.1%, and Aalesund at 19.5% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 10.5% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Ham-Kam

DLLLW

Ham‑Kam’s last five league outings read DLLLW. They drew 2‑2 away at Sandefjord, then suffered a 1‑4 home loss to Tromsø and a 0‑3 away defeat at Bodo/Glimt, followed by a 0‑1 away loss to Sarpsborg 08. The sequence ended with a 3‑0 away win at Valerenga, showing they can score heavily when the odds turn – a key factor for a home win.

Aalesund

DDLDL

Aalesund’s recent five results are DDLDL. They opened with a 2‑2 home draw against Ham‑Kam, then another 2‑2 home draw versus Molde. After a 1‑6 away loss to Valerenga, they earned a 1‑1 home draw with Viking before a 2‑6 home defeat to Tromsø. Conceding six goals twice and scoring only two in the other three games underscores defensive frailty and limited firepower, weakening their chances of an away win.

Head-to-Head

In the five most recent meetings, there are two 2‑2 draws, a 0‑2 win for Ham‑Kam in August 2023, a 2‑1 win for Ham‑Kam in July 2023, and a 3‑1 win for Aalesund in March 2023 – the recent 0‑2 result favours the home side.
