Both participants are capable in this league, Brann having a 22 point advantage on Sogndal in the league table. Game on!

Insights:
  • Sogndal have scored in all their home matches so far.
  • Brann have the most scored goals (58) in Obos-Ligaen

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical 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 artifical turf is 11-7-9 (win-draw-loss) from 27 matches.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Sogndal form and stats

Sogndal have collected 19 points from their Obos-Ligaen home games so far after 6-1-3.

Happy days for Sogndal in their previous game, a fixture away at Mjøndalen (placed 10th) that ended with a 4-0 victory. At last, a league win after three games without one. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Sogndal played a great game against Mjøndalen and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against KFUM that was lost 1-2.

Take note: 14 of the latest 18 league games from this club have had at least one goal from each team.

13 goals have been conceded.

Brann form and stats

Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Brann so far, with 10-0-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Obos-Ligaen statistics. Impressively, the visitors are on a six-match winning run which they hope continue versus Sogndal.

The club members enjoyed Brann's previous fixture versus Raufoss (placed 7th), a 3-0 win played at home.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Stabæk with the score of 2-1.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 12 of this side's 16 latest league matches have ended with at least three goals.

The Brann manager Horneland has seen his team go crazy on the road this season, having scored 33 goals in 10 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).

Head 2 Head

Brann have pulled off a sequence of 7 consecutive matches without losing (4-3-0) when playing Sogndal.

The newest recorded result featuring both these participants is the Brann - Sogndal 1-1 played earlier this season.
