Haugesund vs HamKam – Football Whispers' Predictions
Anything but a win this weekend could see Haugesund slip into the bottom three but the hosts are the bookmaker's favourites to beat visiting HamKam. Sunday's guests have played a game fewer than Haugesund this season and sit 4pts clear in 10th position, so the visitors will certainly view this game as being winnable.

Over 2.5 Goals
We're predicting goals in this game as we expect both sides to head into this one knowing that if they get at their opponents they could secure a valuable 3pts. Both teams sit in the bottom half of the table as things stand and five of their last six meetings in all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals. At least three goals have also been scored in two of the host's last four outings in the Eliteserien and over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of HamKam's last five competitive matches, so you can see why we're backing goals on Sunday.
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 that has been the way five of the last six meetings between Haugesund and HamKam have ended. Both teams have also scored in three of Haugesund's and four of HamKam's last six outings in all competitions, adding even more weight to our second prediction for Sunday's match-up.

Haugesund have the home advantage over HamKam
Haugesund made the trip to fellow strugglers Jerv last time out for a game that turned out to be very tight and tense. After a goalless first half, neither side looked like they were going to break the deadlock in the second half until they entered the final minute and Schroter forced the ball home to send the home fans wild, leaving Haugesund bemoaning their poor defending.
Haugesund Predicted Lineup: Selvik, Reese, Walstad, Bærtelsen, Samuelsen, Eskesen, Krygård, Therkildsen, Zafeiris, Ndour & Njie
HamKam entertained Molde at the Briskeby Arena last weekend in what turned out to be a fairly evenly matched 90-minutes. The first half failed to produce any goals and the second forty-five followed suit. This might be a game that fails to live long in the memory but HamKam fans will be happy to have taken a point from a game against one of Norway's most illustrious sides.
HamKam Predicted Lineup: Hagen, Melgalvis, Kongsro, Kuruçay, Skjærvik, Rødølen, Sjølstad, Onsrud, Eriksen, Enkerud & Kirkevold
