General match analysis
HamKam has a clear offensive advantage: at home they average 2.33 goals per match and produce 13 shots (5 on target) per game, while Start on the road scores only 0.67 goals with 7.67 shots and 2.67 on target. The difference in efficiency is also evident — home side's shot conversion is 18% versus 9% for the visitors, and HamKam have not had a goalless home match (0% such games) whereas Start failed to score in 33% of their away matches. Quality of chances is confirmed by xG: HamKam's home xG is 1.46 versus Start's away xG of 1.00, while xG against are similar (1.73 vs 1.69), suggesting the home advantage is driven mainly by a higher volume and efficiency of chances rather than defensive superiority. Recent form also favors the hosts — HamKam scored 8 goals in the last 5 matches and averages 1.2 points per game in that sample, while Start scored 4 goals and averages only 0.6 points per game. Considering HamKam's 67% home win rate versus Start's 0% away win rate, and the fact both teams concede on average 2 goals per game, the most likely outcome is a home victory, although a draw cannot be ruled out.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Both teams show strong signals for BTTS: HamKam has 100% matches with both teams scoring this season, Start 67%, and in the last 5 matches the rates are 60% and 80% respectively. HamKam averages 1.0 goals per match with xG 1.68 and attempts 13.5 shots (5.0 on target), while Start has 0.67 goals, xG 1.0 and 7.67 shots (2.67 on target); this indicates a clear advantage for HamKam in chance creation, but Start also generates xG sufficient to score. Both teams are defensively vulnerable — HamKam concedes 1.0 goals for the season and 2.4 in the last 5, and Start concedes 2.0 for the season and 1.6 in the last 5 — which increases the likelihood of both sides scoring. Additionally, the league average goals is 2.79, and the teams’ season BTTS rates (100% and 67% vs league 49%) significantly exceed the league level, further supporting a both teams to score scenario. Based on these numbers I estimate the probability of BTTS at around 78% and recommend a 'BTTS - Yes' bet.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Expected goals are approximately 1.69 for HamKam and 1.09 for Start, totaling 2.78 goals. This is close to the league average of 2.79 and, combined with both teams having 100% of season matches over 1.5 goals (HamKam 100%, Start 100%), strongly supports an Over 1.5 scenario. HamKam generates 1.68 xG with an average of 13.5 shots and 5.0 on target per game, while Start has 1.00 xG with 7.67 shots and 2.67 on target, indicating HamKam’s offensive advantage. In the last 5 matches HamKam averaged 4.0 goals per game (8 scored and 12 conceded) and 80% of matches over 2.5, compared to 20% for Start, so I estimated the probability of Over 2.5 at ~63%; Over 3.5 remains less likely (~27%) given HamKam’s seasonal 0% matches over 3.5 and 33% for Start. The strongest signal is Over 1.5 (recommendation) due to both teams’ 100% Over 1.5 frequency and combined xG of 2.78.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
HamKam holds a clear advantage in chance creation: xG 1.68 versus Start’s 1.00, 5.0 shots on target compared to 2.67, and a season average of 1.0 goals versus 0.67, favoring the home side. In the first half HamKam averages 0.5 goals scored and 0.5 conceded, while Start averages 0.33 scored and 1.0 conceded at the break, making Start more vulnerable to conceding before halftime. HamKam has led at the break in 50% of matches (leadingAtHTPercentage_home 50.0), whereas Start has never led at halftime (leadingAtHT_away 0.0), increasing the likelihood of the home side leading after 45 minutes. Additionally, Start concedes an average of 2.0 goals per game (seasonConcededAVG_away 2.0) and has lower PPG of 0.33 versus HamKam’s 1.0, so the most probable scenario is HamKam leading at half-time and winning after 90 minutes (1/1).
