Molde vs Brann: Team News and Expert Analysis
Last season, the club from Molde finished with 39 points, rounding out the top-10. Now, after improving and winning more often, they are in the race for a European competition spot. Therefore, the 2-2 draw against Aalesund is unlikely to be regarded as an outright success—rather, it was a loss of a couple of points.
The team from Bergen finished fourth, just one point behind Tromsø (56 vs. 57 points). But now they have dropped in form, sliding to the lower part of the table and losing frequently—they ended the spring with three consecutive defeats. Fortunately, in the last round, they faced modest Start and at least managed to win that game.
Gulbrandsen and company are showing decent results: they score an average of 1.67 goals and concede 1.25. Under Alechsandersson, Brann plays a more spectacular brand of football—scoring two goals per game but also conceding 1.62 on average.
