- Brann welcome Viking in a high-stakes clash between second and first in the Eliteserien.
- Both teams average over 11 corners per match, making set-pieces crucial.
- Viking are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Brann.
Brann have shown real grit since returning to Norway’s top flight, finishing runners-up in consecutive seasons. Under new coach Freyr Alexandersson, they remain firmly in the title hunt but need a win here to keep pace. With 27 points from 14 matches, the Pride of Bergen have been strong at home, scoring at least twice in five of their eight matches at Brann Stadion this season. However, a string of injuries, including Niklas Castro and Fredrik Pallesen Knudsen, could test their depth against the league’s best.
Brann’s main task will be to maintain their attacking threat despite the departure of top scorer Aune Heggebo. Bard Finne and Mads Hansen will need to step up alongside captain Felix Horn Myhre, who continues to lead from midfield. Alexandersson’s side must also stay alert defensively, having conceded in each of their last three games. They will know that a slip-up here could open the door for Tromso to leapfrog them into second place.
Viking FK, meanwhile, arrive in Bergen full of confidence despite a rare setback in the NM Cup semi-finals. The Dark Blues sit top with 36 points from 15 matches, boasting 11 wins and only one loss all season. That lone defeat came on the opening day, meaning Morten Jensen’s side are unbeaten in their last 14 Eliteserien fixtures. Star man Zlatko Tripic remains their key threat with eight goals and six assists in just 13 league games.
Jensen’s men have an excellent record in this fixture, unbeaten in eight against Brann, including three consecutive draws. Viking average 11.85 corners per match, underlining their attacking style and set-piece potency. With both sides posting strong corner stats and playing aggressive, front-foot football, this clash could deliver yet another high corner count — a trend worth watching in our Eliteserien Predictions.
Brann and Viking both show a clear trend for high corner counts this season, making Over 10.5 Corners a smart value pick. Brann average 7.88 corners won and 3.75 conceded per match, giving them an average of 11.63 corners per game. Viking’s figures are even stronger: 6.14 corners won and 5.71 conceded, totalling an average of 11.85 per match. The stats also show 63% of Brann’s games go over 10.5 corners, while Viking hit that mark in 71% of matches. With both sides pushing forward aggressively and fighting for the title, the match tempo should remain high for 90 minutes. Viking’s wide play and Tripic’s direct style will force corners, while Brann’s home advantage and need for three points mean they’ll attack relentlessly. Both teams generate and concede plenty of corners, so all signs point to another double-digit total this Sunday.
