HamKam and Tromsø face off in Hamar this Sunday, but these teams come in with totally different goals. HamKam can’t seem to catch a break against Tromsø and they haven’t beaten them in their last sixteen tries. Now, they’re hoping this time is finally different. Tromsø, on the other hand, have a lot to lose. They’re leading the Eliteserien, with Viking and Bodø/Glimt right on their heels, so they can’t afford any slip-ups. Let’s dig into the key battles on the pitch, each team’s recent form, and where the best betting value sits for this matchup.

HamKam team overview
HamKam enters this one on the back of a hard-fought 2–2 away draw against Sandefjord Fotball. The Kamma are enjoying a highly stable run of form, remaining completely unbeaten across their last four Eliteserien matches.
Thomas Myhre's men have turned their home ground into an absolute fortress, carrying a dominant four-match winning streak on their own turf after dispatching KFUM Oslo, IK Start, Valerenga and Lillestrøm.
Much of this home success is down to their main man, Henrik Udahl, who leads the club's offensive line with 5 total goal contributions this season.
Thomas Myhre's side will benefit from a perfectly healthy squad with no major absentees, keeping their lineup completely untouched and ready to fire for this crucial fixture.

Tromsø team overview
Tromsø prepares for this one on the back of a dominant 4–0 home victory against Vålerenga Fotball. The Gutan are picking up momentum in their campaign, having avoided defeat in five of their last six Eliteserien fixtures.
However, Jørgen Vik's men have struggled on the road lately, failing to win each of their last three road games, including a bruising 5–0 defeat against Bodø/Glimt, and failed to find the back of the net in each of the last two.
Much of their broader success this season is down to key midfielder Jens Hjertø-Dahl, who leads their scoring charts with 6 total goal contributions.
Meanwhile, the traveling side will be boosted by the presence of striker Ieltsin Camões, who is back in selection contention following his return from a winter loan spell in Egypt.

Prediction
Honestly, this looks like it’ll be a pretty tight, careful game. HamKam’s been rock solid at home, keeping three clean sheets out of their last four matches, but they usually struggle when facing Tromsø, so they’ll probably play it safe. On the other side, Tromsø hasn’t managed a single goal in their last two away games, so they’re not exactly coming in with firepower. Both teams seem ready to dig in and grind it out, and it’s hard to see many goals happening here. A scoreless draw 0-0 feels almost inevitable.
Four reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this tie
- Four of the last six games of Tromso finished with under 2.5 goals.
- Tromso scored just twice over their last four away games.
- HamKam kept a clean sheet in three of their last four encounters.
- Two of the last four meetings between HamKam and Tromso finished with under 2.5 goals.
