Brann vs Go Ahead Eagles Betting Tips - Draw

A tight first-leg saw both teams fail to net and with the tie still scoreless, all is on the line with a place in the next round of Conference League qualification up for grabs. 

Brann come into the second leg as favourites to progress with the Norwegians in possession of an excellent recent record at Brann Stadion. Eirik Horneland´s side have won 11 and lost only two of their last 15 competitive home fixtures. 

Seventeen games into their season, Brann sit third in Eliteserien, and while the Dutch visitors have yet to kick-off their season, the home side are very much into the swing of things domestically. 

Still, Brann have struggled to find a winning formula in recent weeks. The Norwegians lost one and drew four of their last five games played and another tight contest seems likely on Thursday. All four of those drawn fixtures saw less than three goals scored.

Go Ahead arrive in Norway still very much in the tie after last week's drab draw in De Adelaarshorst.  The Dutch visitors have a decent away record having won each of their last three competitive fixtures, albeit at the end of last season.

A tough tie to predict, I expect another closely-fought contest that could easily finish deadlocked. With no obvious goal stats to support a choice in those markets, I´ll take a chance on this Conference League tie requiring extra-time to find a winner.
