In our opinion, SK Brann should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
At the same time, Strømsgodset IF could well struggle to find the back of the net but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be being dangerous at times.
We reckon that it will be a comfortable 3-1 win for SK Brann when all’s said and done.
