Brann hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 25 points and a 12th position in the Eliteserien table. Visiting Haugesund holds 10th place with 28 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Brann form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eliteserien this season. Brann have only managed 2 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses from their games here at Brann Stadion. Brann are slowly digging their own grave here at Brann Stadion with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Sandefjord match.
Brann manager K. Ingebrigtsen and his team return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Sandefjord (placed 11th) in the Eliteserien. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Stabæk.
Late drama in the game against Sandefjord as Brann were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Fredrik Haugen popped out and made it level in the 90th minute. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Brann have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won one, drawn zero and lost two.
Brann are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. 15 goals have been conceded.
Haugesund form and stats
Haugesund have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Eliteserien, after 3-2-6 (11 played).
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eliteserien home defeat versus Aalesund with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Viking.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Haugesund in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Haugesund, four draws and four defeats.
The attacking power of Haugesund when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 league matches away. In the opposite end, Haugesund have conceded 18 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Haugesund - Brann 1-2, played this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Brann won five, Haugesund won two and three draws. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
