SK Brann will be taking on visiting rivals Start at Brann Stadion in the Eliteserien game on Sunday.
All SK Brann v Start match predictions, user poll and stats are shown below - as well as the best betting odds.
SK Brann will be hoping to return to winning ways here following the 1-2 Eliteserien loss in their previous game against Sarpsborg 08.
In that game, SK Brann managed 69% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for SK Brann was Rasmus Holten (29'). Sarpsborg 08 got 10 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Victor Halvorsen (41') and Sonder Sørli (45') scored for Sarpsborg 08.
SK Brann have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets of late, although they’ve also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Looking at their last 6 games, SK Brann have seen their goal breached in 5 of them while also managing to get on the scoresheet in 6 of those matches.
Since a loss in their previous game against Fredrikstad FK in Eliteserien competition, Start will be aiming to make amends here.
In that game, Start managed 38% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Start was Jesper Cornelius (8'). Fredrikstad had 15 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Daniel Eid (65') and Oskar Øhlenschlæger (75') scored for Fredrikstad FK.
The numbers tell their own story, and Start have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 18 goals in total. In defence, Start have seen their frailties exposed. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be continued here, of course.
An examination of past results between these clubs going back to 12/05/2018 reveals that these encounters have been pretty painful for Start. They have not been able to come away with any victories whatsoever while SK Brann have simply been better than them, running out winners in 67 per cent of those ties.
A total of 13 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 10 of them from Brann and 3 being from Start. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.17.
The last league meeting featuring the two was OBOS-ligaen match day 18 on 04/08/2022 and the score finished SK Brann 1-0 Start.
In our view, SK Brann will probably make use of the 4-3-3 system for this game and select Simen Vidtun Nilsen, Martin Hellan, Fredrik Knudsen, Vetle Dragsnes, Joachim Soltvedt, K. Mani Ingason, Niklas Wassberg, Felix Horn Myhre, Bard Finne, Kristian Eriksen and Markus Haaland.
Start boss Azar Karadas has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Terry Benjamin (Cruciate ligament injury) and Johan Meyer (Groin injury) are not able to play. Altin Ujkani is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
It’s our belief that Start seem most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 lineup, starting Jacob Pryts Larsen, Erlend Dahl Reitan, John Olav Norheim, Omar Jebali, Ousmane Diallo, Steve Mvoué, Erlend Segberg, Mikael Ugland, Tom Strannegård, Hakon Lorentzen and Jesper Cornelius.
Our feeling is that Start will surely be able to find the back of the net against this SK Brann side, but it possibly won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
Our tip is for a narrow 2-1 win for SK Brann after the 90. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
Looking at the bookies’ prices in the 90 minute result market, the win for SK Brann is best priced at 1.36, a bet on the game finishing all-square is 4.75 and putting your money on the winning team to be Start can be had at 7. Those are the top market prices being offered right now.
