Lillestrom won three of the last six H2H matches against their Monday's opponent. On the other hand, HamKam won only once in the same period, with two draws. The teams met already in March this year, when Lillestrom won 2-0 in Hamar in the cup.
HamKam team overview
For four consecutive seasons, HamKam has successfully avoided relegation and hopes to continue the streak. The Hamar team got off to a strong start, with 13 points from the first eight matches. HamKam were excellent lately, with four games in a row without a defeat. The run ended in the previous match, when Thomas Myhre's team lost 2-1 on the road against Fredrikstad. After the hosts went 2-0 up in the first half, the guests dominated but couldn't turn that into an even game.
The big reason for HamKam's success this season is its offense. Although they played the fewest games in Eliteserien, Thomas Myhre's team is the seventh best. Also, HamKam were excellent in Hamar, where they have a 4-0-1 record so far.
HamKam will have almost a full squad for the game against Lillestrom. Anton Ekeroth is injured and will not play on Monday, while Luc Mares is questionable and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.

Lillestrom team overview
After one season in the second tier, Lillestrom returned to Eliteserien and are determined to avoid another relegation dogfight. Hans Erik Odegaard's team is currently the top four team and seems good enough to fight for the European competitions. However, they lost two of the last three matches. In the most recent outing, Lillestrom lost 2-1 at home against Kristiansund. The hosts were clear favorites to win, but Odegaard's team couldn't do much in the game, which they ended with only nine players.
Lillestrom are another team with excellent offense. With 17 goals in 10 league rounds, they are the fourth-best in Eliteserien. Also, Lillestrom were impressive away from home, where they have a 3-1-1 record.
Harald Woxen and Espen Bjorsen Garnas received red cards in the last game and will serve a suspension on Monday. Also, Lillestrom will be without injured Thomas Olsen and Eric Kitolano, while Ulrik Jenssen is questionable.
