HamKam welcome Viking to Briskeby Arena for an Eliteserien round 17 fixture on Sunday. The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Fredrikstad at the same venue a fortnight ago.
Stian Molde's 63rd-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Viking, meanwhile, triumphed over Molde with a narrow 1-0 home win last weekend. Sondre Bjorshol broke the deadlock two minutes into the second half and his goal was the difference between the two sides.
The victory saw the Dark Blues climb to second spot in the table, having garnered 31 points from 16 games. HamKam are 13th with 17 points to their name.

HamKam vs Viking Prediction
HamKam's defeat to Fredrikstad ended their three-game unbeaten run (two wins). It left Jakob Michelsen's side sitting just outside the relegation zone on goal difference, having played one game more than 14th-placed Haugesund. A loss here could see them drop into the bottom three depending on results elsewhere. The Hamar outfit could draw inspiration from the 3-0 victory they registered in the most recent head-to-head game played here.
Viking, for their part, are the form side in the league, having garnered 12 points from the last 15 on offer. They sit six points behind table-toppers and defending champions Bodo/Glimt with a game in hand and victory here would keep them firmly in the title race conversation.
We are backing the visitors to claim maximum points with a narrow win and goals at both ends.
