Head-to-head statistics Brann - Lillestrom
Brann Team Overview
Brann are in their fourth consecutive season in the Eliteserien, and they carry experience from last season's European campaign: the UEFA Europa League league phase and the knockout phase play-offs, where they were eliminated by Bologna. The spring was a difficult period - on 1 June the club parted ways with Freyr Alexandersson after three consecutive defeats, with the team sitting 11th. A month later, Eirik Horneland returned to Bergen, having previously won the Norwegian Cup with the club and led them to two silver medals. Under him, Brann climbed six places. European football was added to the mix in the summer as well - the Bergen side beat PAOK and reached the UEFA Conference League league phase. Brann have scored in 13 of their last 14 Eliteserien matches.
Match Results: Brann
Lillestrom Team Overview
Lillestrøm spent just one year in the lower division before returning in some style: they won the first division, lifted the Norwegian Cup - the club's seventh - and went the whole of 2025 unbeaten. Hans Erik Ødegaard has remained at the club since then, and in August his side beat Egnatia to reach the Europa League league phase. Their domestic form has been more modest: 24 goals in 18 league matches, fewer than any other team in the top six. There are clear signs of a dip - in the previous round Lillestrøm lost at home to Fredrikstad 1-4. The visitors have scored more than one goal in just one of their last five Eliteserien matches.
Match Results: Lillestrom
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Brann have scored and conceded in 6 of their last 7 home matches. At home, they have conceded at least once in 18 of their last 19 games. Lillestrøm, meanwhile, average a goal per away match. Given the overall scoring records of both sides, a bet on Both Teams to Score - Yes looks justified.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes for this match are 1-1 (10.84%), 2-1 (9.94%) and 1-0 (9.23%). Of these, the 1-1 draw has the highest probability, though the gap between the top three is fairly small. This reflects both the hosts' potential and the visitors' resilience.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Brann Stadion has been a high-scoring venue of late: their last seven home Eliteserien matches have all produced more than two goals. Brann themselves have scored more than once in six of their last seven home league games. Lillestrøm have struggled defensively, conceding in 10 of their last 11 Eliteserien matches. Brann have rarely kept a clean sheet at home, managing it just once in their last 13 league games, so a reply from the visitors seems likely. A heavy defeat looks unlikely, though: Lillestrøm's last nine away matches have all featured fewer than five goals. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 2-1.
