Meetings between these two teams usually produce goals, especially the most recent one where Brann lost at home to Vålerenga 2-3 last July. This time Vålerenga are back playing at home, but their situation in the table is not the same — they are struggling near the bottom, while Brann are still in the upper half and need points to move up. Vålerenga lost 1-2 in their latest league match, but before that they picked up 2 draws and a cup win, so the overall picture is 2 league matches unbeaten. Brann won 2-1 in their latest league match and also won in European competition in midweek, but their away defending still shows gaps, having conceded in every away match of late. This game should be open from the start, because both sides tend to score and are equally prone to conceding. Vålerenga at home often score late in matches, while Brann often concede early in the second half. If the hosts settle and don't concede first, the game is likely to end close with the points shared.
