Brann has been great at home, scoring 8 goals in their last two games in Bergen. They haven’t been very good at defense in key games, but their offense usually makes up for it against teams in the middle of the table, like Sandefjord. The clean sheet at Haugesund proves that the defense can hold up against weaker teams. The loss to Bodo/Glimt was expected because they were a strong team. Brann is still a powerful squad at home.
Sandefjord Results
Sandefjord’s form isn’t very good, especially when they’re not at home. They have lost four of their last five league games away from home. They are great at home, but they often don’t do as well on the road.

| 11.05.25 | Eliteserien | Sandefjord vs Valerenga | 2-1 | W |
Sandefjord is a strong opponent at home, but their record away from home says a lot. They still have problems on defense when they play away, as they have given up 9 goals in 5 games. Their defense often fails them, even when they score, as shown by their games against Bryne and Viking. They only won one game away from home, and it was early in the season. This difference in form is quite important going into the Brann encounter.
