✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
Sarpsborg 08 FF and Ham-Kam meet at Sarpsborg Stadion in Eliteserien (matchday 8). This fixture gets under way on Thursday 16 May 2024 at 18:00 UK time.
Form
Sarpsborg 08 FF (all games): 3W 2D 5L across their last 10 — 1.10 PPG. Last five: D W L L L. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.90 conceded. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.
Sarpsborg 08 FF's form when playing at home: 6W 1D 3L across their last 10 home games (1.90 PPG). They are averaging 2.90 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 90% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.90 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.10 — Sarpsborg 08 FF are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Ham-Kam's record over their last 10 games: 3W 2D 5L (1.10 PPG). Last five: L W W L D. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).
When travelling, Ham-Kam have posted 4W 1D 5L from their last 10 away outings — 1.30 PPG. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.10 vs 1.10 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.
In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from Sarpsborg 08 FF's last 10 home games and Ham-Kam's last 10 away games) — Sarpsborg 08 FF have seen both teams score in 90% of their games, Ham-Kam in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.
H2H Analysis
Neither side has dominated the 4 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Sarpsborg 08 FF, 2 for Ham-Kam and 1 draw — leaving the H2H largely neutral.
Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 4 H2H matches in our data averaged 3.8 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 24 Sep 2023, ended Sarpsborg 08 FF 1–1 Ham-Kam — a draw.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.8 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading
Sarpsborg 08 FF half-time and goal-timing data (last 60 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 23 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 26%; of the 20 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 73% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 73% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 52%.
Ham-Kam half-time and goal-timing data (last 60 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 77% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 76% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 59% of those occasions; of the 15 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; of the 20 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 63% of games (away games).
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Sarpsborg 08 FF 70% and Ham-Kam 57% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Sarpsborg 08 FF 70% | Ham-Kam 57%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Sarpsborg 08 FF 1.04 xG and Ham-Kam 0.93 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Sarpsborg 08 FF attack 0.869 / defence 0.979 | Ham-Kam attack 0.688 / defence 0.946. League average goals — home 1.265 / away 1.385. Ham-Kam's attack rating of 0.688 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.93. Data: built from Sarpsborg 08 FF's last 37 games and Ham-Kam's last 38.
Result probabilities: Sarpsborg 08 FF 37% | Draw 31% | Ham-Kam 32%. Fair-value odds: Sarpsborg 08 FF 2.68 | Draw 3.22 | Ham-Kam 3.16. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 32% | BTTS Yes probability 39% | Total xG 1.97. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 68% probability — total xG of 1.97 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match. BTTS No at 61% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Sarpsborg 08 FF are the pick at 37% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Sarpsborg 08 FF if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 1.97 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 68% probability — low conviction — though recent form (Sarpsborg 08 FF's last 10 home games and Ham-Kam's last 10 away games) averaging 3.8 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.8 goals per game across 4 H2H matches point the other way.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on No. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Sarpsborg 08 FF 90% (last 10 home games) | Ham-Kam 60% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Ham-Kam beat Sarpsborg 08 FF 1-7 at Sarpsborg Stadion, Regular Season - 8, in the Eliteserien. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Sarpsborg 08 FF 1.04 xG and Ham-Kam 0.93 xG, a combined 1.97. The scoreboard read 1-7 for 8 actual goals. Ham-Kam outscored their 0.93 projection by 6.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sarpsborg 08 FF attack 0.87 / defence 0.98 against Ham-Kam attack 0.69 / defence 0.95, drawn from 37/38 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Sarpsborg 08 FF 37% | Draw 31% | Ham-Kam 32%, with Sarpsborg 08 FF to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual Ham-Kam win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 32%. The game delivered 8, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 59% and landed. Over 3.5 was 14% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 39% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 63% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sarpsborg 08 FF 70%, Ham-Kam 57%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 63%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Sarpsborg 08 FF's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 70% of their matches — today it did.
Ham-Kam's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Sarpsborg 08 FF 1.37 PPG, Ham-Kam 1.08 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Ham-Kam win broke the near-deadlock. Sarpsborg 08 FF (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.07 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 7 against a 1.60 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Ham-Kam (home/away splits) scored 7 against a 1.13 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 1 against a 2.10 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
