- Competition: Eliteserien
- Date: 19th July 2025
- Kick-off: 13:00 UK / 14:00 CEST
- Venue: KFUM Arena
Brann will be looking to keep their hopes of winning the Norwegian top flight alive when they visit KFUM this weekend.
The visitors came very close to ending their 18-year Eliteserien title drought last season as they finished only two points behind the champions. Freyr Alexandersson’s side are currently six points behind the current league leaders, Viking, but with a game in hand, they are still in the title race. However, Brann fans will be concerned by the fact that the team failed to win either of their last two away matches.
Meanwhile, KFUM have surprised many with their performances since being promoted to the top flight last season. The Red and Whites finished the 2024-25 campaign in the top half of the standings and suffered only ten defeats. Johannes Moesgaard's side have not quite been able to match that form this season, but they bring a five match unbeaten run into Saturday's game.
KFUM vs Brann Betting Tips: Double Chance Brann
Brann may not have won their last two away games, but they usually perform well against KFUM. The visitors can boast a win in three of the last four meetings between the two sides, with the other game ending in a draw.
Aside from their poor head-to-head record against Brann, the hosts have one of the worst home records in this division this season — they have won only two of their six matches at KFUM Arena so far this season.

Head coach Johannes Moesgaard is expected to resist the temptation to make changes to the KFUM-Kameratene Oslo side that beat Haugesund 2:0 last weekend.
Having both scored their first goals of the season in that match, Sverre Sandal and Ayoub Aleesami will be aiming to impress in midfield and defence respectively against Brann on Saturday.

Japhet Sery is set to miss this weekend's trip to the KFUM Arena due to suspension. The defender will begin the first of his two-match ban for receiving a straight red card against Viking last Sunday. This could see Denzel De Roeve promoted to the starting XI
Niklas Jensen Wassberg (knee), Sakarias Opsahl (muscle) and Niklas Castro (foot) are among Bergen's injured players.
