Ham-Kam vs Kristiansund BK: Both teams to score – No

Ham‑Kam enter the Eliteserien clash with a model win probability of 66.4% versus Kristiansund’s 11.8%. The model rates the match at 37.7% for both teams to score and 57.0% for under 2.5 goals.

Both sides come in with mixed recent form – Ham‑Kam have slipped to a fifth‑place string of LLWDL, while Kristiansund have scraped a DLLWL run. Injuries to Ham‑Kam’s N. Alexandersson and D. Benjamin and to Kristiansund’s D. Tufekcic and A. Munksgaard add a further layer of uncertainty.

Lars's Verdict

Solid
Both teams to score – No Lost Strong lean Solid · High probability

The model assigns a 62.3% probability that only one side will score, driven by Kristiansund’s modest 0.6 xG away and Ham‑Kam’s 1.5 GA at home.

Show the maths
Ham‑Kam’s expected 1.8 goals per match versus Kristiansund’s 0.6 away xG creates a combined goal expectation of 2.4, but the away team’s low conversion rate drags the BTTS probability down. The model’s BTTS‑No figure of 62.3% reflects Kristiansund’s away goals‑for average of 0.6 and Ham‑Kam’s home goals‑against of 1.5, indicating that a clean sheet for one side is more likely than a shared strike. Consequently, the model favours the ‘Both teams to score – No’ market.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Lost 62.3% model probability

With Ham-Kam averaging 1.8 expected goals and Kristiansund BK averaging 0.6, the model gives a 62.3% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 37.7% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Ham-Kam 1.8, Kristiansund BK 0.6) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 37.7% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 62.3% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals Lost 57.0% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.4 (Ham-Kam 1.8 + Kristiansund BK 0.6) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 57.0% chance against 43.0% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Ham-Kam 1.8 + Kristiansund BK 0.6 = 2.4 combined): 43.0% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 57.0% 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 66.4%, the draw at 21.9%, and Kristiansund BK at 11.8% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 16.3% — 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

LLWDL

Ham‑Kam’s recent league run includes a 0‑3 defeat at Bodo/Glimt (A) and a 3‑0 away win over Valerenga (A). The heavy loss to Brann (0‑3, A) and a 1‑1 home draw with Aalesund show volatility, but the 3‑0 win demonstrates their capacity to dominate, supporting a scenario where they keep a clean sheet.

Kristiansund BK

DLLWL

Kristiansund’s last five include a 0‑0 home draw with Sarpsborg 08 (H) and a 2‑1 home victory over Molde (H). The 1‑2 defeats to Start (H) and KFUM Oslo (A) highlight defensive frailties, yet the inability to score away – only 0‑1 at Fredrikstad (A) – reinforces the low BTTS likelihood.

Head-to-Head

In the five recent meetings, Ham‑Kam have won three times (1‑3 in 2025, 2‑1 in 2025‑03‑30, 1‑0 in 2024‑10‑27) and Kristiansund have managed one win (2‑1 on 2026‑02‑18) and a draw (1‑1 on 2026‑05‑03), underscoring Ham‑Kam’s defensive edge.
