Lillestrøm - HamKam predictions

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, HamKam may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for HamKam, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 5.57.

The 0:1 victory the hosts recorded last round was relatively predictable – most bookies saw them winning as the most likely outcome despite the home-field disadvantage. They needed some time to get things going but ultimately pulled ahead in the second half.

HamKam’s previous outing in the Eliteserien did not end in their favour. The opponents Strømsgodset took the lead during the first half, and HamKam stayed behind until the very end, losing the game 0:1.

We’ve seen a string of concessions from Lillestrøm on their home turf – specifically, 8 over the last 3 matches. Online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of getting out of this one with a clean sheet.

With two matches in a row seeing not more than one or no goals, HamKam’s recent history marks this match as a good time for Under 1.5 Goals bets.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.61 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Lillestrøm won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Betway priced at 2.00 odds.
