Team News: Hamarkameratene

Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there is only a single fitness issue for the Hamarkameratene manager Jakob Michelsen to be concerned about. Halvor Rødølen Opsahl (unknown injury) won’t be in action. John Olav Norheim is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

There’s a good chance that Kamma will likely make use of a 3-5-2 lineup, going with Marcus Sandberg, Snorre Nilsen, B. Ingi Bjarnason, Luc Mares, Vidar Ari Jonsson, Tore Andre Soeraas, W. Albin Kurtovic, Niklas Oedegaard, Vegard Kongsro, Moses Mawa and P. A. Kirkevold.

Prediction

For this match, we think that Hamarkameratene should get enough chances to score a goal against this SK Brann outfit, but it probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid defeat.
We’re predicting a close game with a 2-1 win for SK Brann when all is said and done. There looks to be little in this one.
