SK Brann vs Bryne Predictions

• Brann have dropped just four of a possible 33 points after 11 games (W9, D2).
• Six of Brann’s nine league wins this term came at both half-time/full-time.
• Bryne are yet to win an away league game (D1, L4).
• Three of Bryne’s four away league defeats came at both half-time/full-time.

Unstoppable Brann won’t flake on this opportunity

Since being relegated from the top-flight after a failed penalty shootout last season, Brann have taken to the second-tier with aplomb, winning nine of their opening 11 games and remaining unbeaten to this point (D2).

Considering Brann’s apparent dominance of the division, the price on the win-draw-win market are simply unpalatable. As such, we must find value elsewhere.

A couple of options include Brann to score in both halves which Brann have done in 8/11 league games or even a -1 handicap which won in 7/9 league wins. However, those selections are both a shorter price than our eventual selection, Brann to win at both HT/FT, something which ties nicely with the other two suggestions.

Bryne find themselves in a bit of a pickle

With just nine points after 11 games (W2, D3, L6), Bryne appear to be fighting for their lives even at this early stage of the campaign. Travelling to the runaway league leaders isn’t exactly ideal then as they seek a first away league win of the season.

Bryne have conceded 2+ goals in all five of their away league games this term and we expect this clash to be no different.

Eirik Horneland’s Brann scored exactly three goals per match on average at home while conceding just 0.4, often against better sides than Bryne. Meanwhile, Ole Kevin Knappen’s Bryne conceded thrice in three of their last five visits to Brann. As such, we suggest a correct score selection of 3-0.
