They've been decent at Skagerak Arena, scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game while conceding just one. In their last five matches, Odd has managed two wins, one loss, and two draws, taking eight points from a possible 15.

Meanwhile, HamKam, occupying the 11th spot with 14 points, will be seeking to bounce back from their recent struggles.

Bet

Given the stats and recent form, my recommended bet would be Over 2.5 goals. With Odd scoring an average of 1.5 goals per game at home and HamKam conceding two goals per game on the road, there's a good chance of seeing more than two goals in this match. The odds of 1.7 for Over 2.5 goals offer decent value considering the teams' attacking and defensive records.
