We’re off to Bergen in Norway for the first leg of the Europa League Knockout Phase playoff tie between SK Brann and Bologna this Thursday evening. The winner of this two-legged clash between Bergens stolthet and I Rossoblu will meet either Roma or Freiburg in the Round of 16. Check out our match prediction below!
The Reds’ rise over the past few years has been nothing short of remarkable. Indeed, they were competing in the second tier of Norwegian football as recently as 2022, but secured a spot in the UEL for the first time since 2007-08 (UEFA Cup) this season and are now hoping to pull off one of the biggest upsets in the Knockout Phase playoffs.
The Felsinians have also enjoyed an impressive couple of years, making their Champions League debut last term before winning the Coppa Italia for the first time since 1974. This is the first time the Serie A outfit has reached the knockout stage in European competition in almost three decades - can they continue their upward trajectory? Let’s get into the key stats!

SK Brann - Bologna: Form Analysis
Despite losing their final group-stage match 2-1 to Sturm Graz last month, Brann managed to clinch the final knockout playoff berth with nine points, edging out Young Boys on goal difference.
That result marked the fifth UEL game in a row that the Pride of Bergen failed to win (D3 L2). Notably, with the Eliteserien only starting in March, this is their first competitive match since the trip to Merkur Arena.
The hosts earned seven points from their four home games during the League Phase (W2 D1 L1), with their only defeat at Brann Stadion in this competition coming against Fenerbahce on MD6.
These sides played to a goalless draw on MD4 of this season’s UEL League Phase!
Meanwhile, Bologna ended their League Phase campaign with an impressive 3-0 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv, but their 15-point tally was one point shy of Roma in eighth place in the standings.
The Red and Blues beat Torino 2-1 over the weekend, but their domestic form this season has been underwhelming. They are eighth in Serie A, 14 points behind the top four, and were eliminated from the Coppa Italia by Lazio last week.
The visitors won their last three away games in the UEL and scored two or more goals in each victory, while their only defeat on the road in this competition was to Aston Villa back on MD1.

SK Brann & Bologna Squad Analysis
Three of Brann’s nine goals in their League Phase matches came from Emil Kornvig, but they will need to find another attacking leader, with the 25-year-old moving to Widzew Lodz in the winter transfer window.
Jacob Lungi Sorensen was one of the team’s standout performers in the group stage, having recorded the second-most duels won (71), while he also notched up a goal in the victory over Rangers.
Despite not playing much football over the past couple of months, the hosts have several players sidelined through injury, including Sakarias Opsahl, Jonas Torsvik, Niklas Castro and Saevar Atli Magnusson.
Eivind Helland will not feature for Bologna against his former club this week!
The 20-year-old defender left the Reds for a club record fee to join Bologna during the winter transfer window, but he, along with fellow centre-back Lorenzo De Silvestri, were excluded from the team’s squad list of the Knockouts.
Riccardo Orsolini is the Red and Blues’ joint top-scorer in the competition with three goals. He started the victory over Torino on the bench, but should return to the starting 11 for this match.
Charalampos Lykogiannis, who was sent off against this opponent on MD4, is ruled out of this match with a hamstring issue, and he will be joined on the sidelines by Torbjorn Heggem (muscle).

Our SK Brann vs Bologna Prediction
Bologna are the clear favourites to progress to the last 16 of this season’s Europa League from this tie, but their recent form has been concerning, with only three wins recorded in their last 14 matches across all competitions.
While these two sides played to a goalless draw in Italy on MD4, Bologna played over an hour a man light, which altered their attacking ambitions in the match. We’re expecting a more open game this time around, and fancy both teams to get on the scoresheet. Our SK Brann vs Bologna prediction is BTTS.
