Contents
Over 2.5 Goals
This game has the potential to produce plenty of goals due to the fact that both teams have leaky defences. Three of the last four league meetings between these two sides have produced over 2.5 goals, while at least three goals have been scored in five of the hosts' last six outings in all competitions.
Both Teams to Score
We're backing both teams to score this weekend just as they have done in three of their last four encounters in Norwegian football. Jerv have only managed to keep one clean sheet in their last six attempts with both teams scoring in two of their last three outings. Both teams have also scored in four of HamKam's last five competitive fixtures, adding further weight to our prediction.

Jerv might have had the home advantage against Sarpsborg last time out but you wouldn't have noticed by the way the two teams performed. Sarpsborg took the lead in the 19thy-minute and were 2-0 in front by the time the referee's whistle blew for halftime. The visitors added a further three goals in the second half, two of which arrived in stoppage-time to secure a comfortable 5-0 victory.

HamKam played host to Odd before the international break where goals from Jevtovic and Lauritsen put the visitors 2-0 up at the interval. HamKam needed a quick response in the second half and they got it when just a minute after the restart, Kongsro made it 2-1 after good work from Eriksen. Despite pulling back an early goal, HamKam were unable to carve out an equaliser as Odd pitched a 2-1 victory.
HamKam Predicted Lineup: Hagen, Melgalvis, Kongsro, Kuruçay, Skjærvik, Rødølen, Sildnes, Onsrud, Eriksen, Enkerud & Kirkevold
