HamKam vs Sarpsborg: Top Two Predictions
HamKam will be hoping to close the gap between themselves and Sarpsborg to just 1pts with a win this weekend. The visitors could move into the top four with a win of their own and head into the game as the slight favourites with the bookmakers due to their excellent recent away form.
Contents
Sarpsborg to Win
We're backing Sarpsborg to win on Sunday as they have won each of the last three league meetings between the two clubs, including an epic 5-3 win at HamKam back in 2012. The visitors have outperformed their hosts this season in all departments and should have enough about them to secure all 3pts this weekend, HamKam lost their last home game against Odd 2-1, while Sarpsborg have won four of their last five away games in all competitions.
Both Teams to Score
There is a good chance that we will be treated to goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend as three of the last five competitive meetings between these two clubs have ended the very same way. Both teams have also scored in each of HamKam's last four competitive fixtures while three of Sarpsborg's last four games also saw both teams score, adding further weight to our second prediction for HamKam vs Sarpsborg this Sunday.

Sarpsborg could move into the top four with a win
HamKam were in decent form last time out when they made the trip to struggling Jerv. The hosts were in the midst of a losing streak and HamKam took full advantage of that with two first-half goals from Kirkevold and Melgalvis. Jerv did manage to pull a goal back through Schroter 7-minutes from time but HamKam held onto their narrow lead to secure all 3pts.
HamKam Predicted Lineup: Hagen, Nouri, Melgalvis, Kuruçay, Hernández-Foster, Skjærvik, Rødølen, Onsrud, Eriksen, Enkerud & Kirkevold
Sarpsborg were at their very best at home to Stromsgodset last weekend. Molins gave the home side the lead in the 13th-minute and teammate Heintz double their lead 4-minutes later. Saletros converted two penalties in the 38th and 45th minute to make it 4-0 but Stromsgodset pulled a goal back in first-half stoppage time. The second forty-five was much tighter but Sarpsborg did manage to add a fifth and final goal to their tally through Keintz in the 93rd-minute.
Sarpsborg Predicted Lineup: Nilsen, Horn, Utvik, Halvorsen, Martinsson-Ngouali, Soltvedt, Salétros, Maigaard, Lindseth, Heintz & Molins
