Brann - Haugesund predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Brann winning is by far the most likely outcome.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Haugesund are given 10.30 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

Although Brann’s previous Eliteserien outing at Bodø / Glimt was a crushing away loss, it’s hard to judge their form based on that performance alone. After all, they were out-classed by Bodø / Glimt , who secured an early lead and a comfortable 5:1 victory in the end.

The away team’s previous league match was a home game, but the home fans’ support wasn’t enough to turn the tide. Entering the game as close underdogs, Haugesund struggled to press their advantage for more than half the match and proceeded to concede in the second half and lose the game 1:2.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Brann’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

In terms of head-to-head stats, the closest point of reference right now is from last season when Brann walked away with a decisive victory. This is an entirely new campaign but most top online bookies are still expecting the match to end in their favour.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.48, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
