Sarpsborg vs SK Brann Predictions

• Sarpsborg are two points clear of the relegation zone
• Brann are four points behind league leaders Bodo/Glimt
• The hosts edged to a 2-1 victory in this meeting last season

Hosts can frustrate title challengers in score draw

Two sides at opposing ends of the Norwegian Eliteserien spectrum go face-to-face this weekend and strugglers Sarpsborg could further hamper SK Brann’s title charge when they meet at the Sarpsborg Stadion.

Christian Michelsen’s men have seen an up turn in form in recent weeks with two wins from their last two matches – including a resounding 4-1 thrashing against Rosenborg last time out to put an end to their three match losing run at home.

Brann meanwhile have seen recent results take a slight turn for the worse in recent weeks, with Eirik Hornelund’s side failing to win any of their last three matches in the league – drawing two and losing the other 5-1 at leaders Bodo/Glimt.

Each of Sarpsborg’s last nine in all competitions have seen both sides find the back of the net while the same is true of six of Brann’s last seven. The hosts should feel confident that they can peg back the high-flying visitors and a high-scoring encounter could be in store, with a 2-2 final result drawing some appeal.
