HamKam vs Brann prediction, H2H and probable lineups – 5.07.2025
One of the key fixtures of the 12th round of the Norwegian Eliteserien sees HamKam host Brann on July 5 at Briskeby Arena in Hamar. Here’s a value bet on the outcome of this clash with a promising odds boost.
Match preview
HamKam are still fighting for survival and currently sit 13th in the table with 12 points from 11 matches. Jakob Michelsen’s side have managed just three wins all season, picking up only a single point in their last two outings, which included a draw with Bryne (1-1). The team has struggled in front of goal—just 12 goals scored so far—making them the second weakest attack in the league.
At home, HamKam have shown a bit more resilience: two of their three wins came at Briskeby. However, their recent record against Brann is dismal—three straight home games without a win and twice failing to even find the net. Without a significant boost to their offensive play, "Kamma" will find it tough to claim any points.
Brann, on the other hand, are enjoying a strong campaign, currently in second place with 26 points. After a heavy defeat to Bodø/Glimt (0-3), they bounced back with a narrow win over Sandefjord, thanks to a late goal from Joakim Soltvedt. That speaks volumes about their character and squad depth—victory was delivered by a substitute.
Brann have also been reliable on the road, winning three of their last four away matches. In head-to-head encounters with HamKam, Brann have been dominant—five straight wins and 11 goals scored. Under Eirik Horneland’s guidance, the team are rightly seen as title contenders and will travel to Hamar targeting nothing less than all three points.
Probable lineups
- HamKam: Sandberg, Granaat, Mares, Bjarnason, Nilsen, Simenstad, Soras, Roalsey, Ekerot, Lien, Mawa.
- Brann: Dyngeland, Pedersen, Fauske Helland, Seri Larsen, Soltvedt, Sande, Kornvig, Myhre, Mathisen, Heggebø, Finne
