HamKam vs Lillestrom Prediction & Betting Tips (25 May)

HamKam welcome Lillestrøm to Briskeby on 25 May 2026 in Eliteserien round 10, with the hosts quietly building a solid home reputation. Over the past two months, HamKam have turned Briskeby into a difficult venue, beating KFUM Oslo 4:0, Start 2:1 and Vålerenga 1:0, even if the recent 2:1 defeat away to Fredrikstad reminded them that consistency is still a work in progress. They sit mid‑table but within touching distance of the European spots, and local coverage has highlighted how Henrik Udahl and M. Alassane Niang have become central to their attacking output, especially in front of their own supporters.

Lillestrøm arrive in Hamar in excellent shape, having climbed into the top four thanks to a strong run since early April. Their last eight league games include impressive wins such as 3:1 over Sandefjord, 0:2 away at Rosenborg and a dominant home victory against Sarpsborg 08 that finished 4:0. At the same time, they have shown defensive resilience with clean sheets away to Tromsø in a tight 0:0 draw and in that win at Rosenborg. Recent news has focused on how, despite injuries to key players like Thomas Lehne Olsen, Kevin Martin Krygård and Eric Kitolano, the squad’s depth has allowed them to keep pace with the league’s frontrunners.

From a tactical perspective, this matchup contrasts HamKam’s proactive, attack‑minded home approach with Lillestrøm’s increasingly balanced, efficient style on their travels. HamKam’s recent home record—four wins from five, scoring in every game—suggests they will not sit back, especially after convincing displays against KFUM Oslo and Start. Lillestrøm, meanwhile, have conceded very few goals away from home over the last two months, relying on a compact back line and quick transitions that punished sides like Vålerenga and Rosenborg. Norwegian media have noted that this fixture could be a measuring stick for both teams: HamKam to prove they can trouble the top sides, and Lillestrøm to show they can sustain a title‑race tempo deep into the season.

When weighing up form, injuries and recent performances, Lillestrøm appear slightly better equipped to exploit the spaces HamKam tend to leave when pushing forward at Briskeby. The hosts’ attacking threat should still be enough to find the net at least once, but Lillestrøm’s sharper edge in both boxes over the last two months points toward an away win with multiple goals. With that in mind, the correct score prediction for this Eliteserien clash is 1:3 in favour of Lillest
