HamKam host Tromso in the Norwegian Eliteserien on Saturday night. HamKam have drawn their last two league matches, while Tromso have managed just one win in their last three, and with neither side holding a clear edge, this game looks likely to end level.
HamKam have posted 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss from their last six league games, underlining their strong tendency to share the points. After the break, they returned with a 2-2 away draw against Sandefjord, making it back-to-back league draws. Home form has been the foundation of their campaign, with five wins from six home matches this season. Up front, Udahl and Maminian have both delivered steadily, scoring five goals each, but defensive consistency remains an issue. HamKam have kept only one clean sheet in their last six matches, and their back line has shown vulnerabilities under pressure, making it difficult to completely overpower opponents and take all three points.
Tromso have recorded the exact same 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss from their last six Eliteserien games, mirroring HamKam closely. They thrashed Valerenga 4-0 at home in the previous round, with Heintzsen starring with a brace. However, their away form has been less convincing. They suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat to Bodo/Glimt and have taken 2 draws and 1 loss from their last three league away games. Their attacking efficiency on the road has been average, and against a resilient HamKam side that is strong at home, they are unlikely to hold a dominant advantage. With the two teams so evenly matched, a draw appears the most probable outcome.
