There is no dominant side in the previous H2H matches between KFUM and HamKam, as five of the last eight ended with a draw. HamKam won two in that span, while KFUM won only one of the previous eight H2H games. Another interesting fact about KFUM and HamKam matches is that five of the last six games ended with two or fewer goals. In the only H2H match this season, it was 0-0.
KFUM team overview
After eighth position on the table in 2024, KFUM have another good year in which they could even beat that success. However, KFUM are only seven points above the relegation playoff position and everything is possible in the final 12 matches of the season. Johannes Moesgaard's team are in a fantastic form lately as they are undefeated in the last eight games. In the previous match, KFUM played 0-0 at home against Molde. Despite generating an xG of 1.44 compared to Molde's 0.13, Moesgaard's side couldn't convert their dominance into goals, settling for a point.
KFUM are still active in the transfer market. They have made two transfers since their last match. Johannes Nunez, forward, who has five goals and four assists in 13 games for KFUM this season, signed for Fredrikstad. In the opposite direction came center-back Brage Skaret, who didn't have too many opportunities to play in Fredrikstad.
KFUM doesn't have significant problems with missing players. Only Sverre Sandal, Niclas Semmen, and Robin Rasch should miss the upcoming tie.

HamKam team overview
In every one of the previous few seasons, HamKam were close to relegation, but they always survived. Currently, they sit just one point above the relegation zone, making every point vital in their fight to stay up. HamKam haven't played lately, as they have only won two of the last nine matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 at home against Bryne. Dominating possession and creating several scoring chances, they could have won by a wider margin, but the solitary goal proved enough to secure three crucial points.
HamKam's Halvor Opsahl, Ola Rye, Paal Kirkevold, and Markus Johnsgard are injured and will not play on Friday against KFUM.

Prediction
KFUM are impressive defensively lately, as they have allowed only one goal in the last six matches. On the other hand, HamKam have struggled offensively as they scored only nine goals in the previous nine games. Also, five of the last six H2H matches between these two teams ended under 2.5 goals, including the game from May when the teams played 0-0. We should expect another low-scoring match on Friday evening at KFUM Arena. Our prediction: Under 2.5 goals.

- KFUM allowed only one goal in the last six matches
- There were two or fewer goals in five of the previous seven KFUM games
- HamKam scored nine goals in the last nine matches
- There were two or fewer goals in six of the previous eight HamKam games
