Competition: Norway Eliteserien
Date: Sun 30.June
Match begins: 18:00 (UTC)
Venue: Aker Stadion (11800 seats)

Molde and Brann are both riding high in the Eliteserien with their 1st and 4th positions respectively. Expect a great game!

Brann could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a NM Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Ranheim, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Brann.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Brann have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 10-5-9 (win-draw-loss) from 24 matches.
