SK Brann vs Rosenborg Predictions

Rosenborg have endured a slow start to the season, but the signs are their that they can turn their campaign around and challenge at the top end of the table. Brann have started well, but remain five points off the league leaders Molde and can’t really afford any more dropped points if they wish to remain in touch with the title race.

A quickfire first half double from Bamba and Acosta put Brann 2-0 up at Bodo/Glimt, but the hosts pulled a goal back before the break to keep the contest alive. The home side did all the pushing in the second half and were unlucky on several occasions not to equalise, but Brann held on to secure all three points. Rosenborg and Mjondalen played out a five-goal thriller at the Lerkendal Stadion last weekend, where two goals in three minutes from Reginiussen and De Lanlay saw the hosts take a two goal lead. However, the visitors pulled a goal back before the break and levelled the scores in the sixty-fifth minute, only for Rosenborg to retake the lead and claim a 3-2 win a minute later through Søderlund.

The recent head to head record between these two clubs and the form of both teams heading into Sunday’s match, points towards Rosenborg taking something from the game, but perhaps only a point. Rosenborg are unbeaten in their last four trips to Brann, with the last three visits all ending in victory, and the visitors have only lost one of their last seven competitive matches against Sunday’s hosts. Brann have only lost one of their last six matches, as have Rosenborg, and the visitors are unbeaten in their last three away games. A double chance bet on Rosenborg looks well worth a punt this weekend, but the hosts good form suggests the game is most likely to end in a draw.

Wormgoor top scores for Brann with three league goals so far this season, while Jensen and Reginiussen have both netted two goals apiece for Rosenborg. We’re confident that a double chance bet on Rosenborg will payout on Sunday, and have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. The visitors have a very good record against their hosts, especially over the last few season, but Brann have the home advantage and head into the game in good form, which is why we’re backing a draw as the full-time result.
