Brann and Sandefjord bring round 11 of the Norwegian Eliteserien to an end when they go head-to-head at the Brann Stadion on Monday. Andreas Tegstrom’s men will head into the game desperate to get one over the hosts, having failed to win their last 15 clashes since August 2009.
Brann were outclassed and outplayed by Bodo/Glimt last time out as they fell to a humbling 3-0 defeat when the two sides squared off at the Aspmyra Stadion.
Freyr Alexandersson’s side have lost two of their most recent three league matches — with a 4-2 win over Kristiansund on June 1 sandwiched between the two defeats — having gone unbeaten in the eight games preceding this run (6W 2D).
Brann have picked up 23 points from their 12 Eliteserien matches so far to sit third in the table, level on points with second-placed Rosenborg.
Meanwhile, Sandefjord turned in a superb team display last time out when they cruised to a 4-0 victory over league strugglers Haugesund on home turf.
This was a much-needed result for Tegstrom’s men, who had lost three of their previous four games in all competitions while conceding 12 goals and scoring six in that time.
Sandefjord have picked up 18 points from their 10 league matches so far to sit sixth in the standings, four points off the top four places.

Brann vs Sandefjord Prediction
Brann have been utterly dominant in the history of this fixture and will be backing themselves to bounce back from their loss to Bodo/Glimt here.
While we expect Sandefjord to put up a fight, we predict Alexandersson’s men will do just enough to secure all three points in front of their home supporters.
Prediction: Brann 2-1 Sandefjord
