The Norwegian top flight action continues on Sunday and our next fixture features a clash between Brann and Lillestrom as the betting tips continue at the Brann Stadion in Bergen.
Brann Prediction- Can Brann break into top three?
Brann occupy 4th place in the Norwegian top flight and are just 2 points behind 3rd placed Bodo/Glimt ahead of this Sunday’s action in the Eliteserien.
Despite flying high in the domestic top tier though, Brann have produced mixed results throughout their campaign so far this season.
The hosts did put together a 3-match winning streak against Stabaek, Sarpsborg and Bodo/Glimt, but their inconsistent streak has let them down.
This inconsistent streak also extends to form on home turf at their Brann Stadion where they’ve posted a home record of 2-2-2 6/6 to date.
Wins against Kristiansund and Sarpsborg have been offset by draws with Stromsgodset and Valerenga, along with defeats to Ranheim and Rosenborg.
The victories that Brann have recorded on home turf so far this season have both been by a narrow 1-goal margin.
Indeed, Brann have won by 2 goals or more in just 3 of their 17 home matches overall.
Brann have also kept just 4 clean sheets within these last 17 home matches too.
Lillestrom Prediction – Can Lillestrom stay close to Brann?
Lillestrom sit in 11th place in the Eliteserien and recent results have been disappointing for the visitors as they’ve gained just 1 win out of their last 6 matches overall.
That win came in the shape of a 3-0 win away at Valerenga, but defeats to Odd and Viking mean that Lillestrom have been unable to lift themselves up into the top half of the Eliteserien.
Lillestrom have registered just 3 league wins all season to date, 2 of which were recorded on home turf at their Åråsen Stadion.
However, just 1 away win on the road at the aforementioned Valerenga has been a low return on their travels, amidst an overall away record of 1-2-2 6/8.
But we’re not concerned with whether Lillestrom will win this game or not but whether they can avoid a heavy defeat.
Only 5 of Lillestrom’s last 19 away matches in the Eliteserien have seen the visitors lose by 2 goals or more on the road, so they look good to keep things close here.
