BetGenius backs Brann or Draw (Double Chance) at 76% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Over 2.5 Goals.
Bottom-placed Start host seventh-placed Brann at Sparebanken Sor Arena as the Eliteserien season moves into round 21. Start find themselves anchored to the foot of the table with 13 points from 19 games, possessing the league's most porous defence with 41 goals conceded across the campaign.
Brann travel with 26 points and an attack that has averaged 2.1 goals per game away from home. While Brann have dealt with squad rotation and several absences including suspended midfielder N. Holm, their offensive output remains significantly higher than that of their hosts.
Historical head-to-head records heavily favor the visitors. Across the nine previous encounters recorded between these sides, Start have failed to secure a single victory, suffering seven defeats and recording two draws against Brann, including a 2-1 defeat in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
Combined scoring rate: 3.1 goals per game (Start at home plus Brann away).
