Brann - Haugesund predictions

Brann have been installed as firm favourites by the best online bookmakers and anything but a home win in this match would be considered a huge upset.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Haugesund will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Brann want to forget their previous Eliteserien match. Playing away from home they conceded early in the first half and never recovered. As a result, the Viking away defeat is definitely something they want to put behind them as soon as possible.

Although Haugesund’s defeat in the previous round was a fairly painful 2:0, we can’t say that it was unexpected. They were vastly outmatched by their opponents Bodø / Glimt, who spent the entire match ahead.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Haugesund's backline has much to be wished for

The recent history of this matchup reveals a good part of why the hosts are considered the favourites. A quick look at the stats shows a decisive victory over Haugesund. The most recent clash between the two squads is from last season, though.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.25, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
