Aalesunds FK
- Aalesunds FK are winless in their last 5 matches (D2, L3).
- Aalesunds FK have failed to impress in their opening 7 matches of the 2026 campaign, and sit bottom of the Norwegian Eliteserien table with 3 points from 7 matches, making this early-season meeting with European hopefuls SK Brann Bergen (6th) a must-win fixture for Kjetil Rekdal’s men.
- Aalesunds FK have failed to win their last 2 fixtures, a 1-1 home draw with Kristiansund BK and a 0-1 away defeat to Sandefjord, but remain winless in their last 5 competitive matches (D2, L3) - a run that included a 2-1 defeat away at SK Brann Bergen in the NM Cup 2026, 14 days ago.
- Aalesunds FK have had a difficult time of it in their 4 Eliteserien 2026 home matches to date, failing to win any (W0, D2, L2) and conceding 9 goals in the process.
SK Brann Bergen
- After 2026 got off to an indifferent start for SK Brann Bergen, Freyr Alexandersson’s side have kicked on in the last fortnight, winning their last 2 consecutive fixtures - a 5-0 demolition away at Tromso IL and a 3-1 home victory over Fredrikstad FK - to place themselves in 6th position.
- SK Brann Bergen play an aggressive, possession-based 4-3-3 system at a high tempo.
- SK Brann Bergen’s overall away record in Eliteserien 2026 (W2, D1, L2) looks a little worse than it really is, with the visitors averaging 3.00 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per away game, so there is a chance for Aalesunds FK to get on the scoreboard on Sunday.

- Aalesunds FK are without a win in their last 3 home matches against SK Brann Bergen.
- SK Brann Bergen are a team in form and have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning their last 3 meetings against Aalesunds FK in all competitions (W3).
