Ham-Kam
- RBK currently occupy fifth place in Eliteserien 2025 with 34 points from 21 games, while their hosts languish in 14th place with just 21 points from 22 matches, and this Ham-Kam vs Rosenborg BK prediction really highlights the gap between the teams this season.
- Thomas Myhre took over as Ham-Kam coach in June 2025 and set about implementing a pragmatic and defense-first system with a 5-3-2 or 5-4-1 personnel on the pitch.
- The Hamar-based club’s new system has been built around solidity, zonal play and counter-attacking on the break with long balls over the top.
- Myhre’s men have only won three of their 11 home games in Eliteserien 2025, drawing three and losing five.
- Gard Simenstad has been a highlight for the hosts, scoring two of their five goals in the last five matches and providing a real spark in attack when they have played this negative style of soccer.
Rosenborg BK
- Robin Shroot took over as RBK coach in January 2024 and has immediately set about building a very different team.
- The team’s tactical identity sets the stage for our Ham-Kam vs Rosenborg BK preview, as Shroot’s RBK are all about possession and control, overloading the midfield and being proactive when they lose the ball by counter-pressing to win it back in dangerous areas.
- Dino Islamovic has been RBK’s most consistent goal threat, scoring two of their goals in the previous five and always looking dangerous.
- RBK’s away record in Eliteserien 2025 is patchy, with four wins, two draws and five defeats, but they should be more confident for this trip after putting three goals past FK Haugesund last week.
- RBK have won both of their previous two meetings with Ham-Kam and will fancy their chances of winning here.
Head-to-Head
Rosenborg BK have won both of their last two head-to-heads, including a 2-0 home win over Ham-Kam two months ago in Eliteserien 2025.

Betting Insights
- Ham-Kam are the biggest underdogs of the weekend in Norway’s Eliteserien 2025 (+300) when they host much higher placed Rosenborg BK (-109), and the Ham-Kam vs Rosenborg BK betting tips reflect just how tough this fixture should be for the hosts.
- Under 2.5 goals looks the value pick in the total goals betting, as RBK’s possession and high pressing should allow them to control the game, while Ham-Kam’s game plan should be clear to all on display.
- Backing RBK to beat Ham-Kam looks good, but Myhre’s five-man line could keep it tight.
Prediction
Rosenborg BK have the quality and the momentum to edge out struggling Ham-Kam in a classic major club versus underdog contest at Briskeby on Sunday, so the final Ham-Kam vs Rosenborg BK prediction leans towards another RBK victory.
