After shaky runs that have left them just two points apart, SK Brann and Sarpsborg 08 will be facing off in the Eliteserien. This match will be hosted by Brann, who are targeting a second straight win against Sarpsborg. These two sides have conceded a combined 33 times in the league so far, and as we expect this trend to continue, our prediction leans towards the goals market.
Two straight losses, against title chasers Bodo/Glimt and struggling Aalesund, tell the story of Brann’s inconsistency. The 3-1 defeat to Bodo/Glimt was the second time in four competitive outings that Brann conceded three times or more.
They have won each of their last three home games, two in the league, and will be confident coming into this one.
Sarpsborg are unbeaten in their last two away matches at Brann, which will fuel their confidence ahead of this encounter. The visitors will be further buoyed by their 2-1 win against Molde right ahead of this game.
However, that being only their second win in nine matches, away fans will be hoping for a more stable future. A confident run should start with better defence, which Sarpsborg are lacking at the moment.
The goal conceded against Molde marked a ninth straight outing without a clean sheet. In their latest five league outings, they have conceded 10 goals.
