Brann seek home comfort to close European gap
Brann return to Bergen looking to reignite their European charge against a Sarpsborg side desperate to build on a shock win over Molde.
Brann sit 8th on 13 points, just three points off the European places with 19 games remaining. They return to the Brann Stadion after back-to-back road reversals, most recently a 3-1 defeat at Bodo/Glimt and a 2-1 loss at Aalesund. However, their home momentum is strong, having secured consecutive victories in Bergen against KFUM Oslo and Fredrikstad.
Sarpsborg 08 FF occupy 9th place on 11 points, five points adrift of the European spots. Even Sel’s side secured a morale-boosting 2-1 win against Molde last weekend, but their away form has been disastrous. The visitors have lost four consecutive away Eliteserien encounters, including a heavy 4-0 defeat at Lillestrom and a 2-3 loss at Valerenga.
