Brann and Stjørdals-Blink should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Brann form and stats

Brann have been very solid at home in the Obos-Ligaen so far, with 30 points collected from 12 matches (9-3-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Brann has won eleven games in a row. The Stabæk match was the last time out without a victory.

Brann are confident in defense, having played 577 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

A strong away win for Brann against Sandnes Ulf the last match, as Myhre, Rasmussen and Heggebø were on target.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Grorud in a game that was won 7-0.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Brann have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 4 games found in the database showing 3 Brann wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.

It should be added that a look at the 11 most recent league matches reveals that 9 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Brann always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Brann Stadion with 37 goals in 12 league games. As for guarding their own goal, Brann have only let in 4 goals at home. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
