Viking delivered impressive performances before the international break, posting three consecutive wins and a combined goal difference of 14-0. While Brann is expected to find the net on Friday, this is likely to be only a consolation goal given Viking's recent dominance. The article concludes that Viking's form makes them clear favorites for the upcoming match.

Brann are not that consistent this season and lost almost half of their home matches. I am backing the reigning champions Viking to claim an important victory on Friday. 

Key Stats  


  • Brann have lost 5 of their last 11 home matches (Eliteserien). 
  • Brann have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches against Viking. 
  • Viking have won their last 2 matches against Brann. 
  • Viking have won their last 3 matches. 
  • Viking have seen BTTS in 9 of their last 11 matches. 

58-Year-Old Rivalry 


This is going to be the 106th time these two teams lock horns and Viking hold a 49-33 advantage in terms of victories. 

Brann Underperforming This Season 


Brann are failing to replicate their results from the previous Eliteserien season which they finished in 4th place, collecting just 29 points in 21 games so far and occupying 7th position. 

Early September was rough for them, registering back to back defeats against Lillestrom 2-1 at home and 2-0 to Start on the road, then struggling against a lower-division side OS in the Norwegian Cup but getting away with a 2-1 win. 

Just before the international break, Brann pulled an upset by defeating prime title candidates Bodo/Glimt 2-1 at home. They had just two shots on target here, lower possession and 0.75-1.34 expected goals. 

Red-Hot Viking 


Viking picked up good form just before the international break, claiming three straight victories across competitions and currently share first place on the Eliteserien table with Bodo/Glimt with nine rounds remaining. 

During this run, they demolished Kristiansund 8-0 at home, followed by two more 3-0 victories against Lillestrom and Madla IL (Norwegian Cup). 

This is also a historic season for Viking since they made it to the UEFA Champions League group stage, while leaving a solid impression in the debut against Stuttgart, losing 3-1 in an open contest.

Brann (4-3-3) Mathias Dyngeland; Denzel De Roeve, Thore Baardsen Pedersen, Cheikh Mbacke Diop, Vetle Dragsnes; Kristian Eriksen, Jacob Lungi Sorensen, Felix Horn Myhre; Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson, Noah Jean Holm, Bard Finne

Verdict

Viking's form was great just before the international break, winning three games in a row with a goal difference of 14-0. I like Brann's chances of scoring on Friday, but only as a consolation.
