Key Stats

Here are three crucial statistics for punters to consider before placing their bets:

Mjøndalen IF are unbeaten in their last 7 home games in the OBOS-ligaen.
SK Brann are the league’s top scorers, averaging over 2.0 goals per game this season.
Both teams have scored in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two sides at the Consto Arena.

Our prediction for this match is a hard-fought 1-2 away win for SK Brann. This promises to be one of Brann’s toughest tests of the season. Mjøndalen’s excellent home record and ability to find the net at the Consto Arena suggest they will push the league leaders all the way. However, Brann’s relentless attacking quality and championship-winning mentality should provide them with the slight edge required to secure a crucial, narrow victory on the road.

Team News Mjoendalen IF

Mjøndalen manager Kevin Nicol will be forced into a key change in his midfield for this top-of-the-table clash. Experienced captain and central midfielder Martin Ovenstad is unavailable as he serves a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation. The team’s primary goal threat will come from striker Benjamin Stokke, who has been in excellent form at home this season.

Team News SK Brann

The league leaders are sweating on the fitness of their talismanic top scorer, Bård Finne, who is a major doubt with a minor ankle injury picked up in training. A final decision on his involvement will be made on the morning of the match. However, coach Eirik Horneland has a strong squad, with the powerful Aune Heggebø on standby and ready to lead the line if Finne is ruled out.
