Prediction KFUM vs HamKam 2025 season – Betting Tips for the Eliteserien on 22/08/2025

Game context and what’s at stake

KFUM welcome HamKam to KFUM Arena in Oslo on 22/08/2025 in a clash that could define momentum for both sides in this run of the Eliteserien season. KFUM sit comfortably above their visitors in 7th place with 26 points from 18 matches and have been one of the more entertaining teams at home, while HamKam arrive rooted closer to the lower half in 12th with 20 points and a patchy road record. The small, intimate KFUM Arena — capacity 1,500 — promises an intense atmosphere for a contest in round 19. Referee Sivert Amland will oversee a game where both teams know a positive result could swing their midseason narratives.

Form, recent results and team shape

KFUM arrive on a genuine high in terms of results. Their last ten outings read like a team that knows how to get the job done: six wins, three draws and a solitary defeat, highlighted by eye-catching victories such as a 4-1 home demolition of Rosenborg and a 5-0 win at Kristiansund earlier in the campaign. Their most recent outing was a disciplined 0-0 draw with Molde where Simen Hestnes stood out, earning the best player rating for KFUM in that match. Statistically KFUM are solid at home — 17 goals scored at home and only 10 conceded — and they boast seven clean sheets, underlining a defence capable of frustrating opponents on their turf.

HamKam’s form is more balanced and inconsistent. Their last five results show flashes of resilience, including a 1-0 away victory over Bryne and a comfortable 3-0 win at Haugesund, but they have also registered losses to top sides like Bodø/Glimt and Molde. Their away numbers tell a tale of struggle: only 8 goals scored away with 14 conceded and just four clean sheets on the road overall. L. Mares was influential in HamKam’s latest win and will be someone for KFUM to keep an eye on, but the visitors have lacked consistent cutting edge away from home.

Tactical edge and statistical indicators

On the underlying numbers KFUM look marginally superior across attacking pressure and chance creation, averaging more total attacks and more dangerous attacks than HamKam. KFUM’s home fixtures have also seen both teams score in a healthy proportion of matches, yet HamKam’s away record shows a relatively low percentage of both-teams-to-score occurrences — suggesting they may struggle to break down a compact KFUM defence. Shot volumes are comparable, but the home side’s ability to keep clean sheets and their more consistent form tip the balance.

Betting suggestion Based on form, home solidity and the visitors’ fragile away record, the strongest single-market pick here is a 1X2 selection: back KFUM to win. This outcome aligns with KFUM’s recent run, their defensive stability at KFUM Arena and HamKam’s struggles on the road.
