Brann vs Salzburg Prediction & Betting tips
On Wednesday evening at 18:00, the small Brann Stadion arena with only 16,750 seats in Bergen will host the confrontation between Brann from Norway and Salzburg from Austria, a match that is part of the 2nd qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, first leg. The two teams have never met before, the confrontation being a premiere, and Salzburg starts easily as the favorite due to their greater experience in European cups but also a much more valuable team. The winner of this double leg will play in the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League against Club Brugge from Belgium, the team that has already qualified, while the losing team will play in the 3rd round of the Europa League with the winner between RSC Anderlecht and BK Häcken.
Brann:
Brann was close to a big surprise last season in the first division of Norwegian football, being close to winning the 4th title in history after the ones in 62, 63 and 2007. In the last two rounds, however, Brann lost 2-1 away to Molde and in the last round when it didn’t matter they drew at home with Viking, score 1-1, giving up the title in favor of Bodo/Glimt. This season, Brann is in 3rd place in the standings with 30 points, one less than Tromso, the team in 2nd place and six less than the leader Viking. Brann is in the middle of the season and this is because the Norwegian championship is played in the spring-autumn system. In the most recent match, Brann lost 2-0 away to KFUM Oslo. In the last two seasons, Brann was eliminated each time in the Conference League play-offs, missing out on qualifying for the groups.
Salzburg:
Salzburg is the team that last season ranked 2nd in the first football league in Austria, just two points behind the champion Sturm Graz. Salzburg had a short vacation and that is because they also played in the new competition, the Club World Championship, where they finished 3rd in a group with Pachuca, Al Hilal and Real Madrid, managing one win, one draw and one defeat. Salzburg also had time to play two friendly matches this month, managing to defeat Qarabag 2-1 and losing by the same score to Derby. Last season Salzburg played in the UEFA Champions League group, where they ranked 34th, in the eight matches recording only one victory, 3-1 against Feyenoord away.
