Rosenborg vs HamKam prediction, H2H and probable lineups — July 13, 2025
On July 13, 2025, as part of Round 13 of the Norwegian Eliteserien, Rosenborg will face off against HamKam. Kickoff is scheduled for 17:00 Central European Time. Let’s break down the odds and pick a winner for this clash.
Rosenborg
Rosenborg have not been showing their former level in recent years and are no longer among the main contenders for the Norwegian championship title. Currently, the team sits only in fourth place with 23 points, trailing league leaders Viking by 13 points. The squad is enduring a long winless streak—Rosenborg haven’t won in five straight matches, suffering two defeats and drawing three times. They’ve also crashed out of the Norwegian Cup, losing to Sarpsborg on penalties. In their most recent league outing, Rosenborg were beaten 0-2 away by Sandefjord.
Home games have also been disappointing for the fans—three in a row without a win. However, when it comes to head-to-heads against HamKam at home, Rosenborg are consistently successful: in the last four home encounters, the team has notched up four wins, three of them with clean sheets.
HamKam
HamKam currently occupy 13th place in the league table with 13 points—just one point above the relegation zone. Still, this position can hardly be called a disaster: last season they finished the campaign in 12th, and the year before that—11th.
Right now, the team is going through a rough patch—three straight matches without a win. They first suffered a 1-3 home defeat to Tromsø, followed by consecutive 1-1 draws against Bryne and Brann. Away results remain weak: in six road matches, HamKam have picked up just 5 points, conceded 11 goals, and have one of the worst away defenses in the league.
It’s also worth noting HamKam’s exit from the Norwegian Cup—they lost to Aalesund at the Round of 16 stage.
Head-to-head meetings with Rosenborg have also not gone in HamKam’s favor: over the last seven encounters, they have suffered five defeats, drawn once, and won just once. In five of those seven matches, HamKam failed to score at all.
Probable lineups
- Rosenborg: Tangvik, Sletche, Racic, Volden, Mortensen, Väänänen, Selnes, Fossum, Reitan-Sunde, Islamović, Seide.
- HamKam: Sandberg, Granaat, Mares, Bjarnason, Nilsen, Simenstad, Seras, Roaldsøy, Ekerot, Lien, Mawa.
Key facts and head-to-head
- Rosenborg have failed to win 6 of their last 7 matches.
- Both teams have scored in 4 of Rosenborg’s last 5 matches.
- HamKam are winless in their last 4 games.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of HamKam’s last 8 games.
- Rosenborg have won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings.
- Rosenborg have won their last 3 home head-to-heads.
Rosenborg vs HamKam match prediction
Despite their recent dip in form, Rosenborg clearly have the edge in both quality and head-to-head history over HamKam. The visitors have been struggling away from home and are not in the best shape, so we expect a confident win for the hosts, who should seize this opportunity to end their winless streak. My pick for this match is Rosenborg to win with a -1 handicap at odds of 1.8.
