In that match, Bryne managed 41% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 4 on target. For Bryne, the scorers were Axel Kryger (4'), Duarte Moreira (8') and Nicklas Strunck (92'). On the other side, Haugesund got 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Julian Eskesen (71') scored for FK Haugesund.

The stats don’t lie, and Bryne have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 7 goals in total. In defence, Bryne have not been doing too well. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see if such a trend will be maintained in this upcoming game.

🗞️ Team News: SK Brann

Martin Hellan (Shoulder injury), Jonas Torsvik (unknown injury) and Niklas Jensen Wassberg (Knee injury) are unavailable for SK Brann manager Freyr Alexandersson.

It’s our opinion that SK Brann will possibly go for a 4-3-3 system for this one and select Mathias Dyngeland, Thore Pedersen, F. Pallesen Knudsen, Eivind Helland, Joachim Soltvedt, E. Aron Gudmundsson, Emil Kornvig, Felix Horn Myhre, Mads Kristian Hansen, A. Selland Heggeboe and Niklas Castro.

📰 Team News: Bryne

It’s our belief that Bryne seem likely to play in a 4-4-2 lineup using Jan de Boer, Axel Kryger, Jacob Haahr, Jens Huseboe, Lasse Qvigstad, Alfred Scriven, Luis Goerlich, Nicklas Strunck, Heine Aasen Larsen, Duarte Moreira and Eirik Saunes.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that in this game, SK Brann will most probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the same time, Bryne may well struggle getting goals although we do think it’s probable that they will be being dangerous at times.

We reckon that it will be a controlled 3-1 win for SK Brann at the end of this one.
