Brann
- Brann have won three, drawn none and lost two of their last five in all competitions, bouncing back from a home defeat to Tromso IL with a 5-1 Eliteserien win at Ham-Kam 48 hours ago.
- Brann are yet to record their first home win of the season, so it is hard to have faith in them despite their odds-on quote of 1.48.
Sandefjord
Sandefjord have split their two away games in Eliteserien 2026, winning one and losing one, conceding just two goals in the process.
Head-to-Head
Brann have won three of the last five Eliteserien head-to-head meetings with Sandefjord , who have failed to win any.
Brann
- Brann boss Freyr Alexandersson has made them one of the most proactive and high-tempo teams in Norway by installing a high defensive line, aggressive pressing game and attack-minded full-backs since he took charge in January 2025.
- Full-back Ruben Kristiansen can provide width and overlap.
Sandefjord
- Sandefjord's Sander Moen Foss has the energy and ability to win the ball back in high places.
- With Sandefjord keeper Hugo Keto in goal to make good saves under pressure, Brann will be looking to put their opponents under pressure and force turnovers in the first and second thirds.
- Sivert Heltne Nilsen, the captain, will try to control the play from central midfield and poses a set-piece threat, while Bård Finne will be the main target up front.
- Moeller has two goals in his last five for Sandefjord, but is the best bet to score at Brann Stadion as the lack of resources to field an established striker continues.
Betting Insights
- Home win odds: 1.48.
- Best match markets: Over 2.5 goals (1.38) and BTTS - Yes (1.45).
Prediction
- However, we do think the home side will take the three points here after dominating the game in terms of possession, tempo and transitions while taking advantage of Sandefjord’s deep defensive line.
- But the visitors will counter-attack, so we’re adding Over 2.5 goals (1.38) and BTTS - Yes (1.45) into the mix for additional confidence.
