SK Brann will be hosting visiting team Start at Brann Stadion in this Eliteserien meeting on Sunday.
Our SK Brann v Start predictions, statistics and match poll can be seen below - as well as up-to-date odds.
SK Brann will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 1-2 Eliteserien loss in their previous game against Sarpsborg 08.
In that game, SK Brann managed 69% possession and 10 shots at goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for SK Brann was Rasmus Holten (29'). For their opponents, Sarpsborg 08 had 10 shots at 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.
Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Fredrikstad FK in Eliteserien action, Start and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that match, Start had 38% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Start was Jesper Cornelius (8'). For their opponents, Fredrikstad got 15 attempts at 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.
Checking on past results between these clubs stretching back to 12/05/2018 shows that these fixtures have ended in disappointment for Start. They’ve not been able to come away with any victories at all while SK Brann have just been too good for them, getting wins in 67% of those matches.
A combined total of 13 goals were scored between the two sides in this period, with 10 of them from Brann and 3 for Start. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.17.
The last league encounter featuring these sides was OBOS-ligaen match day 18 on 04/08/2022 when the final score was SK Brann 1-0 Start.
It seems likely that SK Brann may well use the 4-3-3 system for this game featuring 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 manager Azar Karadas has some current player fitness concerns. Terry Benjamin (Cruciate ligament injury) and Johan Meyer (Groin injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Altin Ujkani will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
We believe Start will likely make use of a 3-5-2 system, settling for 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.
