HamKam host Molde in a mid-table vs European-chasing clash in the Norwegian Eliteserien. Molde sit 4th with 33 points from 19 games and are pushing for a top-four finish, while HamKam are 10th on 23 points and looking to climb away from the lower half of the table.
Form & Context
- HamKam: Mixed recent form (roughly W D L D L in some listings). Stronger at home (better win rate and points per game at Briskeby) but have struggled for consistency and goals against stronger sides.
- Molde: Better overall form and higher scoring output (around 2 goals per game on average). They won the reverse fixture 4-1 in April 2026 and have a strong historical edge in this matchup.
Molde have dominated recent head-to-head meetings, winning most of the last several encounters. HamKam’s home advantage offers some hope of a competitive game, but the visitors arrive as clear favourites.
Team News
HamKam
Possible absences include suspensions (e.g. Martin Gjone mentioned in some reports). The side typically sets up in a compact 3-5-2 or similar.
Molde
Several injury concerns reported, including key players such as Eirik Hestad and others (goalkeeper and defensive options also listed as doubtful/out in previews). Manager Sindre Tjelmeland still has enough quality in attack and midfield. Expected shape around 4-2-3-1.
Key Battles & Outlook
Molde’s superior chance creation and attacking quality (higher xG numbers) should trouble HamKam’s defence. The home side will look to stay organised, use set-pieces and counter. Games between these teams often see goals, with over 2.5 a frequent outcome in previews.
Prediction
HamKam 1-2 Molde
Molde’s stronger squad and better current form make them favourites to take all three points on the road, though HamKam’s home record means it may not be entirely straightforward. Expect a competitive match with the visitors edging it.
