HamKam delivered a commendable performance in their most recent outing, clinching a convincing 2-0 victory over Aalesund. Notably, Kirkevold emerged as the star, netting both goals that propelled his team to success. This triumph served as a crucial rebound after facing back-to-back defeats at the hands of Brann and Lillestrom.

Amidst their current sequence of outcomes and a somewhat sluggish commencement to the season, HamKam are currently 12th in the standings. Across 18 intense encounters, they've managed to accumulate 19 hard-earned points, finding the back of the net 22 times while conceding 39 goals. The narrow margin of just 3 points separates them from the relegation zone, adding urgency to their pursuit of returning to their winning ways.

LWWWW

Rosenborg's journey in the Europa Conference League came to an end as they faced defeat with a 4-3 aggregate score against Scottish side Heart.

On the domestic front, Rosenborg appear to have found their footing once again following a string of disappointing outcomes at the start of the season. A resurgence is evident, with the team securing victory in their past 4 league fixtures consecutively, amassing a commendable 12 points across these contests. This streak of triumphs has propelled them to the 8th position on the league table, boasting 25 points from 18 hard-fought matches. In the process, they've orchestrated 23 goals while conceding 25.

Currently sharing the same point tally with 7th-placed Odd and trailing 5 points behind the 5th-placed Brann, Rosenborg comprehend the significance of maintaining their winning momentum. This realization is driving them to pursue victory relentlessly, with the recent wave of successes acting as a potent force propelling them towards yet another triumph.

HamKam - Markus Sandberg, Brynjar Ingi Bjarnason, Fredrik Sjølstad, John Olav Norheim, Jens Martin Gammelby, William Kurtovic, Benjamin Thoresen Faraas, Kristian Onsrud, Vegard Kongsro, Moses Mawa, Pål Alexander Kirkevold.

Rosenborg - Sander Tangvik, Leo Cornic, Erlend Dahl Reitan, Ulrik Jenssen, Adrian Nilsen Pereira, Emil Frederiksen, Tobias Borkeeiet, Edvard Tagseth, Carlo Holse, Isak Thorvaldsson, Jayden Nelson.

Given Rosenborg's respectable record in their recent matches, it's reasonable to lean towards a favorable outcome for them. Nevertheless, it's important to note that this contest is unlikely to be completely one-sided. Anticipate both teams to make their mark on the scoreboard.
