There’s also action form the Norwegian top flight and the next preview features a clash between Brann and Mjondalen as the betting tips continue at the Brann Stadion.
Brann Prediction – Can Brann put pressure on top three?
Brann head into Friday night’s clash with lowly Mjondalen having suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 7 matches overall in the Eliteserien.
That one defeat was a 1-0 loss at home to Rosenborg but recent wins against Stabaek, Sarpsborg, Bodo/Glimt and Lillestrom have been impressive.
These string of wins have helped Brann to stay in touch with the top three clubs in the Norwegian top flight and are just 3 points behind 3rd placed Odd.
4 wins from these last 7 matches overall should give Brann plenty of confidence despite having posted mixed results on home turf lately.
Wins against Sarpsborg and Lillestrom have been offset by defeats to Ranheim and Rosenborg and need to improve upon their home record.
An overall home record which stands at 3-2-2 7/6 needs further improvement but this could all change for the better when Mjondalen come to town.
Mjondalen have actually had the better of the previous exchanges against Brann as the visitors have won 3 of the last 4 meetings.
Mjondalen Prediction – Can Mjondalen pull away from relegation zone?
Mjondalen sit third from bottom in the Norwegian top flight ahead of this tricky looking trip to face 4th placed Brann at the Brann Stadion.
The visitors have now gone 7 matches overall without a win in the Eliteserien having suffered 3 defeats and drawing 4.
Losses against Molde, Rosenborg and Haugesund were against top half opposition while they’ve picked up points in draws.
Stalemates with Lillestrom, Kristiansund, Ranheim and Viking have helped the visitors stay out of the bottom two for now.
However, the visitors are without a win from their last 4 away matches, and have managed to record just 1 away win from their 6 matches on their travels to date.
Mjondalen’s only highlight on the road this term so far was a 3-2 win at bottom club, Stromgodset, but they’ve lost 3 of their 6 to date.
The visitors have struggled to keep clean sheets away from home too as they’ve conceded in each of their last 10 matches on the road.
Mjondalen have won just 1 away match from their last 21 on their travels in the Eliteserien.
