This analysis was prepared before kick-off. The conclusions use only information available before the match and do not include the final result or post-match statistics.

General match analysis

Start have won 3 of their last 5 matches, scoring 10 goals in the process, while HamKam have managed just 1 win, scored 7 goals and conceded as many as 14. Although the visitors sit 13th and the hosts 16th, HamKam’s away record is poor: they lose 64% of their matches and concede an average of 2.27 goals per game. Start concede an average of 1.5 goals at home, and their home xG of 1.64 compares favourably with HamKam’s 1.13 away, pointing to more chances for the hosts. Start also average 15.8 shots per home game, compared with HamKam’s 9.36 shots away. The draw remains a significant risk, as Start have won only 30% of their home matches, but their current form and HamKam’s fragile away defense tip the forecast in the hosts’ favor.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Start average 1.7 goals per home match and have yet to finish a home game without scoring this season, which strongly points to a goal from the hosts. HamKam concede an average of 2.27 goals away from home and have shipped 14 in their last 5 matches, so containing Start’s attack will be difficult. The visitors’ chances of scoring are supported by Start conceding an average of 1.9 goals at home and allowing opponents 1.75 expected goals in those matches. However, there is a clear risk to the “Yes” pick: HamKam have failed to score in 36% of their away games and average just 1.09 goals on the road. Even so, both teams have scored in 70% of Start’s home matches and 55% of HamKam’s away matches, giving BTTS - Yes a moderate edge.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

At least 2 goals were scored in 90% of Start's matches and 91% of HamKam's, making Over 1.5 the market best supported by the data. Start average 1.7 goals scored, while HamKam concede 2.27, which points to goals from the hosts. In their last 5 matches, Start averaged 2.0 goals scored with an xG of 2.03, while HamKam conceded as many as 2.8 goals per game. The visitors could also get on the scoresheet, as Start concede an average of 1.9 goals, although HamKam have failed to score in 36% of their matches. Over 2.5 also looks promising, but has landed less often—in 70% of Start's matches and 82% of HamKam's—so Over 1.5 remains the safer pick.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

The strongest scenario is Start leading at the break and winning at full time. The hosts were ahead at half-time in 4 of their 10 matches, while HamKam were trailing at that point in 7 of 11; the visitors concede an average of 1.09 goals before the break and score just 0.27. The overall results record also points to Start holding on to their lead: Start have won 50% of their matches, compared with just 9% for HamKam, who have lost 64%. The last five outings further strengthen this pick: Start won 3 of them, while HamKam conceded an average of 2.8 goals per match, including 2.2 after the break. A half-time draw followed by a Start win remains a notable alternative, but HamKam’s frequent first-half concessions favor the 1/1 pick.
