Ham-Kam will aim to smother Aalesund's attack
Ham-Kam are 8th in Eliteserien 2026 with 21 points from 15 matches, a respectable mid-table tally. Thomas Myhre has had them set up as a compact unit, defence-first and structured to stay compact while waiting to pounce on transitions and set-piece opportunities. They have won just one of their last five games, however, drawing once and losing three times, but the 3-0 away win over Vålerenga last time out was an emphatic reminder of their ability to hit with a counter punch.
Aalesunds FK have a similar recent form line of one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five, but the 2-6 home defeat to Tromsø IL last time out was a brutal wake-up call for Kjetil Rekdal's men. Prior to that, a 1-1 home draw with Viking Stavanger was also a disappointing result. Kjetil Rekdal has Aalesunds playing a straightforward, pragmatic game that can be dangerous on the counter, with width in wide areas and a dead-ball threat.
Ham-Kam vs Aalesunds FK preview: Expect a long, tense affair

It's close, but our Ham-Kam vs Aalesunds FK betting tips lean toward Ham-Kam to edge this one on home turf and the fact that they've won two and drawn one of the last three head-to-heads between these clubs in all competitions.

Both teams can score
Endre Osenbroch has been Aalesund's hottest finisher in recent weeks, netting three of his team's five goals across the last five matches. He's the most likely route to goal for the visitors. Mame Alassane Niang, who has scored two of Ham-Kam's three goals across the same period, is the clear scoring option for Myhre's team.
These two teams played out a 2-2 draw in Aalesund in the reverse fixture so there's already a scrappy recent history to this fixture, which looks likely to be another tight, cagey contest on Sunday. Ham-Kam look to have the edge, but Aalesund's ability to hurt on the break should keep this one alive, and Ham-Kam vs Aalesunds FK prediction points to another tight, cagey contest on Sunday.
