HamKam vs Brann prediction: Visitors to emerge victorious?
Key Stats
- HamKam have only picked up one point in total over their last two league games.
- Brann have won their last four matches in all competitions.
- Brann have won the previous five H2Hs.
Correct score prediction: HamKam 1-2 Brann
Given their far superior league position and recent H2H record, Brann should be confident of going home with all three points. However, despite a clean sheet in their last outing, they have been fairly leaky at the back, and so HamKam could at least get on the scoresheet.

- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%

In Brann's most recent victories, Aune Heggebo has usually been involved. In wins against Kristiansund and Haugesund in the league, he picked up a combined three goals and one assist.
Heggebo boasts seven league goals in total, which puts him joint-second as it stands in terms of top scorers. Nonetheless, he is a key player for Brann, and on who could make all the difference against HamKam.
