Tromso have momentum and quality to take the points
Tromso IL, currently sitting sixth in the Norwegian Eliteserien 2025 table with 16 points from nine games, are heavy favourites for Sunday’s visit to 13th-placed Hamarkameratene (11 points from the same number of games), according to our Ham-Kam vs Tromso IL prediction.
Tromso have four wins and one defeat from their last five games and look to be playing at their best right now with a 1-0 away win over Sarpsborg 08 followed up with a 2-1 home win over Vålerenga. Tromso also won the most recent friendly match between the two clubs, a 2-0 victory two months ago.
In this Ham-Kam vs Tromso IL preview, it is not difficult to see why Tromso are such a strong side to beat on Sunday. Centre-back Hasan Kuruçay is the anchor of a solid back line, but Jakob Michelsen’s men have become more compact and efficient overall since he took over as head coach in January 2022.
Winger Vegard Kongsro brings good width and provides an immediate threat in transition, particularly when counterattacking. In Moses Mawa, Michelsen has a frontline leader who has scored two goals during their recent five-game run.
Rivalry match has importance for both clubs
Lasse Nilsen is the playmaker who makes things happen for Tromsø IL as his movement and distribution allow them to dominate possession, attack from wide areas and play intricate, short-passing football. Full-back Casper Øyvann is a more aggressive wide option and can switch play with a good cross-field ball to a target man in the box or a fast overlap.
The visiting side’s attacking talisman is forward Vegard Erlien, who has the pace and movement to cause problems for even the best defences.
The latest Ham-Kam vs Tromso IL odds highlight the visitors as favourites, but Ham-Kam have been better in recent weeks, beating Molde 2-1 at home before following that up with a 3-0 hammering of Strømsgodset away, but Tromsø IL's form and away record is superior so far in 2025. With both clubs occupying the middle and lower reaches of the table, this could be a pivotal match in their Eliteserien 2025 campaigns.
This Ham-Kam vs Tromso IL prediction suggests Tromsø IL are the favourites, coming in at 2.15 with Ham-Kam 3.10 and the draw at 3.60. We like the Ham-Kam vs Tromso IL betting tips on the visitors to win here, but Ham-Kam’s recent improvement suggests they can get a result.
