Sarpsborg 08 have had a mixed start to the Eliteserien 2025 season, but their position in 8th place with eight points from five games is a solid mid-table start. Christian Michelsen’s men have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five league games, losing 2-3 at home to Stroemsgodset and grinding out a 0-0 away draw at Viking three days ago. Sarpsborg 08 have been solid and disciplined in their structure this season, and have been excellent at picking the right moments to pounce on their opponents in transition. Martin Høyland has been the star in midfield, controlling the tempo and shielding the defence with his disciplined play, while Daniel Seland Karlsbakk has been on a scoring spree, netting four goals in his last five appearances and driving his side’s 10-goal haul during that run.
Ham-Kam are having a miserable start to the Eliteserien 2025 season, sitting in 14th place with just four points from five games. Jakob Michelsen’s side have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five league games. A 2-5 home defeat to Viking was followed by a 2-0 loss at Sandefjord and a 0-0 draw at home to KFUM last time out. Ham-Kam have been toothless on the road in the Eliteserien 2025, failing to score a single goal and losing back-to-back games. However, they have won two of their last three away games against Sarpsborg 08 in all competitions.
Ham-Kam are the clear underdogs at +500 for this game, with Sarpsborg 08 the heavy favorites at -181. Both teams will be desperate for the win as they try to find their place in the early-season table, but Sarpsborg 08’s form and quality should be enough to see them take all three points on Sunday. Sarpsborg 08 have not won at home this season, drawing one and losing one of their two home games in the Eliteserien 2025, but Ham-Kam’s defence has been leaky on the road, conceding 2.50 goals per game without reply. Sarpsborg 08 have also conceded 2.00 goals per game at home, and with both teams leaking goals and Sarpsborg 08 in good form up front, the ‘Over 2.5 goals’ market looks the best option for this matchup. Simen Vidtun Nilsen will be key for Ham-Kam on Sunday, providing steel and distribution from the center of the park, while Henrik Udahl will be their best hope of breaking their away scoring drought with his aggressive runs and eye for goal.
