Brann had a great start to the season after being promoted from the second division, but it looks like playing in a much stronger league is starting to take its toll. Brann came up short early away against Molde in the last round and it was very deserved that they were 0-1 down at half-time. They got something more done after the break, but it eventually ended with a 0-2 loss and really nothing in their game that day indicated that they deserved a point from that match. In the last 4 games, they won only 4 points, and they also experienced a failure in the cup, losing to Valerenga, despite the fact that they had a 2-0 lead after 6 minutes of play. They have had a lot of problems with the teams from the upper part of the table lately and the only 2 wins they have achieved are against Aalesund and Ham-Kam, the last 2 teams in the league. They play quite well at home and after 6 games they have 4 wins and 2 draws. However, the form in which they have been playing recently indicates to me personally that they will have a lot of problems in this match, especially to win with more than one goal difference. With all that, they won't be able to count on several very important players, among others the two standard defenders Pedersen and Kristiansen.

Stromsgodset has gained real speed in the points capture recently and I honestly think that they have reasons for optimism in this match. They won 5-2 at home against Sarpsborg 08 in the last round, where they delivered a lot of good attacking play and deservedly won 3 points. Looking at the last 5 matches, they are one of the leading teams in the league in terms of points won. In that period, they have only 1 loss with 4 wins and have a very good goal difference. They conceded 2 goals in the aforementioned win in the last round and 2 goals in the loss to Haugesund. They managed to keep a clean sheet in 3 matches and come to this visit with a lot of confidence. Stromsgodset has enjoyed playing away from home recently, with the side currently unbeaten in 3 games. Scoring is not an issue for them when they play away from home. They have scored in the last 5 games they have played on the road. If we consider that Brann is a team that likes to play very open football and that they conceded 9 goals in the last 5 games, we can easily expect a match with a lot of goals from both sides. The bookies have placed Brann as a clear favorite in this match, but I honestly think that he will not have an easy task against the visitors, who are in very good shape.

从乙级联赛升级后，布兰恩本赛季开局不错，但看起来在一个更强的联赛中踢球已经开始付出代价了。在上一轮对阵莫尔德的比赛中，布兰恩早早就出现了失误，半场0-1落后是他们应得的。他们在中场休息后做了更多的事情，但最终以0-2输掉了比赛，那天的比赛中没有任何迹象表明他们应该从那场比赛中得到一分。在最近的4场比赛中，他们只赢得了4分，而且他们在杯赛中也经历了一次失败，尽管他们在比赛开始后6分钟就以2比0领先，但他们还是输给了瓦伦加。最近他们在面对排名靠前的球队时遇到了很多问题，他们唯一取得的两场胜利是对阵阿勒松和咸锦，这是联赛中排名最后的两支球队。他们在主场踢得很好，6场比赛之后他们取得了4胜2平的成绩。然而，从他们最近的表现来看，我个人认为他们在这场比赛中会遇到很多问题，尤其是在净胜球超过一球的情况下。有了这些，他们将无法依靠几个非常重要的球员，其中包括两个标准后卫佩德森和克里斯蒂安森。

斯特罗姆戈德塞特最近在得分方面取得了真正的速度，老实说，我认为他们有理由对这场比赛保持乐观。他们在上一轮主场5-2战胜萨普斯堡08，在那里他们提供了很多出色的进攻，理所应当地赢得了3分。看看最近的5场比赛，他们是联赛中得分最高的球队之一。在这段时间里，他们只有1负4胜，净胜球也非常多。他们在前文提到的上一轮胜利中丢了2球，在输给豪格松的比赛中丢了2球。他们成功地在3场比赛中保持了零封，并且带着极大的信心来到了客场。斯特罗姆戈德塞特最近很享受客场比赛，球队目前3场不败。当他们在客场比赛时，得分对他们来说不是问题。他们在最近5场客场比赛中都取得了进球。如果我们考虑到布兰恩是一支喜欢踢非常开放的足球的球队，并且他们在过去的5场比赛中丢了9个球，我们可以很容易地期待一场双方都有很多进球的比赛。博彩公司认为布兰恩在这场比赛中是最受欢迎的，但老实说，我认为他在对阵状态非常好的客队时不会轻松取胜。
