Match Preview

Brann finished as runners-up last season upon returning to Eliteserien, and they dream of going one better this term. Brann could fight with Rosenborg for the championship title, and their start has been promising. They are just one point off the top, having won three games in a row. Their home form is superb with four wins and 16 goals scored in just five games. Brann are definitely worth thinking about in our Brann vs Aalesund picks.

And yet, Aalesund are the surprise team of the season. Having finished incredibly strongly in 2016, they started the 2017 season in superb form. Aalesund are sixth, but just three points behind Brann – and they won four out of the last five fixtures with Mustafa Abdellaoue scoring at will. Therefore, Aalesund are also worth a good look when making our Brann vs Aalesund predictions. Both teams are hoping to continue their runs, and it's not easy to predict the winner.

Brann vs Aalesund Predictions and Betting Advice

As we showed in our Brann vs Aalesund preview, both teams are in with a shout, but Brann are considered favourites and the odds on the home team are simply too low. When taking into account that Aalesund hadn't won at Brann in Eliteserien since 2008, the away win seems a bit unlikely, but what about a draw? The odds are supreme at 4.33, and Aalesund only lost once away from home this season. If you think that Brann are going to win, though, it's better to bet on over 2.5 goals, because Aalesund are likely to find the net.
