-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having only narrowly avoided relegation last season, Sandefjord would have been sceptical over whether sufficient improvements could be made to enjoy a far more productive campaign this time around.

Their pessimism has since proven to be correct, The Boys having recorded just two wins from their 11 matches in Norway's top flight during 2024.

Those two victories in question came in succession and in some style, too, with 3-1 and 4-1 triumphs being posted over Molde and Sarpsborg respectively.

Since then, however, Hans Erik Odegaard and Andreas Tegstrom's team have failed to prevail in five games, conceding 11 goals in the process.

Incredibly, Sandefjord defied a 36th-minute sending off to earn a 3-3 draw at KFUM Oslo, although they did ship an equaliser in the 89th minute.

As far as Hamkam are concerned, their two victories this season came more recently, one of them a 7-1 victory away at relegation rivals Sarpsborg 08.

Two defeats have since been recorded in succession, though, the most recent being a 2-1 loss to Brann back on June 1.

Jakob Michelsen's task is to keep HamKam in the top flight, so positives can be taken from only losing twice in their most seven recent outings.

Nevertheless, these are the games that they must take advantage of if they wish to challenge for the 11th place that they achieved last season.

Prediction: Sandefjord 1-1 HamKam
