HamKam vs Rosenborg Prediction: Goals from both ends expected

On Sunday, HamKam will play host to Rosenborg at the Briskeby Arena. Neither Rosenborg nor HamKam have gotten off to a good start to the current season. Both have consistently displayed an unstable form ever since they first appeared. Previews, possible starting 11, expert tips, and odds are provided below.

HamKam

WWLLW

HamKam delivered a commendable performance in their most recent outing, clinching a convincing 2-0 victory over Aalesund. Notably, Kirkevold emerged as the star, netting both goals that propelled his team to success. This triumph served as a crucial rebound after facing back-to-back defeats at the hands of Brann and Lillestrom.

Amidst their current sequence of outcomes and a somewhat sluggish commencement to the season, HamKam are currently 12th in the standings. Across 18 intense encounters, they've managed to accumulate 19 hard-earned points, finding the back of the net 22 times while conceding 39 goals. The narrow margin of just 3 points separates them from the relegation zone, adding urgency to their pursuit of returning to their winning ways.

Rosenborg

LWWWW

Rosenborg's journey in the Europa Conference League came to an end as they faced defeat with a 4-3 aggregate score against Scottish side Heart.

On the domestic front, Rosenborg appear to have found their footing once again following a string of disappointing outcomes at the start of the season. A resurgence is evident, with the team securing victory in their past 4 league fixtures consecutively, amassing a commendable 12 points across these contests. This streak of triumphs has propelled them to the 8th position on the league table, boasting 25 points from 18 hard-fought matches. In the process, they've orchestrated 23 goals while conceding 25.

Currently sharing the same point tally with 7th-placed Odd and trailing 5 points behind the 5th-placed Brann, Rosenborg comprehend the significance of maintaining their winning momentum. This realization is driving them to pursue victory relentlessly, with the recent wave of successes acting as a potent force propelling them towards yet another triumph.
