Analysis and what could happen at Rolvsrud Stadium
Brann come in as clear favorites. The team combines scoring ability (2.7 goals on average) with a very compact defensive line (0.3 goals conceded on average). Lillestrøm are dangerous in attack at times, but struggle with consistency and closing space at the back — something Brann exploit effectively.
The timing pattern for goals suggests that Brann often apply pressure towards the end of the first half and early in the second half, while Lillestrøm often score around half-time or just before. This can create a tactical dynamic where Lillestrøm try to gain an early foothold at home, but Brann will likely take control as the match progresses.
Conclusion and suggested result
The statistics suggest Brann W will take points from Rolvsrud Stadium. Expect a match where Brann dominate possession and defensive situations, while Lillestrøm hunt for transitions and goals on the counter.
Expected result: Lillestrøm W 0–2 Brann W
Tip: Brann to win / under 3.5 goals / Brann to keep a clean sheet are all scenarios supported by the teams’ numbers this season.
