The visiting Rosenborg side should be the strongest party at Brann, as the guests have a 22 point advantage from their 25 league games this season.

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!
Relegation threatens Brann who should definitely be looking for some points here. Rosenborg are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Brann form and stats
3 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Brann have to build on here at Brann Stadion in the Eliteserien.
Brann haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 207 minutes ago. A. Heggebo scored that one.
The fans are hoping that Brann will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Eliteserien game against Vålerenga (placed 7th). Midfielder Sivert Heltne Nilsen was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.64 (out of ten) in that game. Nilsen hit one key pass and had 64 successful passes (of 73 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Viking (0-2).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 six matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost four.
The Brann fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Brann defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
