Brann vs Hamarkameratene Prediction: Can Kamma get their first win over their hosts at this venue?

Brann and Hamarkameratene will settle scores on Wednesday at the Brann Stadion. Eirik Horneland’s men have won all the meetings between them and Kamma at this venue. Can they continue this streak? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Brann drew 1-1 against Viking in their recent match, with Ole Blomberg scoring the equalizer in the 71st minute after falling behind in the 22nd minute. They had a chance to win late in the game, but Bard Finne's goal was disallowed for offside by VAR. Brann controlled possession with 57% and took 15 shots. They currently have four points from three matches and aim to replicate their strong 2023 season, where they finished second.

During the Viking game, Ulrik Mathisen suffered a neck injury and was taken away in an ambulance. It's unlikely he will be available for the upcoming match against HamKam. Additionally, several other players are unavailable due to injuries: Niklas Jensen Wassberg (knee), Jonas Torsvik (unknown), Felix Horn Myhre (groin), Mads Sande (recovering from cruciate ligament surgery), and Thore Pedersen (unknown).

HamKam have had a tough start to the new season, earning just one point from their first three matches. In their latest game against Rosenborg, they suffered a 1-0 defeat, conceding a goal early in the 16th minute. They struggled with possession, only holding 35%, and their hopes faded further when John Olav Norheim received a second yellow card in the 80th minute. Before the loss to Rosenborg, HamKam drew 1-1 with newcomers KFUM Oslo and lost 1-0 to Molde. Norheim's suspension due to his red card means he will be unavailable for the upcoming match against Brann. Additionally, Halvor Opsahl is sidelined with an injury. With just one point collected so far, HamKam's start to the season has been challenging, currently only ahead of Tromsø who are yet to earn any points in the league standings.

Brann – Mathias Dyngeland, Svenn Crone, Fredrik Knudsen, Japhet Sery Larsen, Ruben Kristiansen, Emil Kornvig, Sivert Heltne Nilsen, Niklas Jensen Wassberg, Ole Blomberg, Baard Finne, Magnus Warming.

HamKam – Marcus Sandberg, Snorre Nilsen, Brynjar Ingi Bjarnason, Luc Mares, Vidar Ari Jonsson, Tore Andre Soeraas, William Albin Kurtovic, Niklas Oedegaard, Vegard Kongsro, Moses Mawa, Paal Alexander Kirkevold.

Brann started the season with a win, a draw, and a loss. They finished last season in great form, securing a second-place finish on the table. However, HamKam have only managed to secure one point so far this season. Brann's exceptional head-to-head record against HamKam at this venue is another reason to back them here. Brann have won each of the 5 meetings between them at this stadium. Additionally, HamKam have allowed 10 goals in the past four clashes at this venue. Therefore, I am backing Brann to win at halftime, and over 3.5 goals scored in total at full-time.
