Tippeligaen: Brann Vs Odd Grenland - Betting Tip
Brann made two changes in the 2-0 win over Viking, replacing young midfielder Kristoffer Larsen with the more experienced Fredrik Nordkvelle, and underperforming left-back Erdin Demir with Hassan El Fakiri. The veteran El Fakiri was particularly solid at the back and we might see more of him in that position this season; and Nordkvelle’s appearance also paid off, with the midfielder scoring with a fine finish for Brann’s second.
Odd once again swapped defenders Morten Fevang and Fredrik Jensen in their starting line-up for the 1-1 draw with Molde. Forward Havard Storbaek’s good form continued with a goal.

Match Preview
Brann continued their home dominance with another comfortable victory on the weekend. Forward Erik Huseklepp opened the scoring with a fabulous solo effort, followed up by another good move completed by Nordkvelle on the counter. Brann have all the ingredients for a good season, but their away form lets them down.
Odd will be relatively pleased with a point against Molde on Saturday, although it is not surprising that Odd were the first side Molde took a point off this year. Indeed, Molde should have won and Odd can count themselves lucky for Molde’s poor finishing. Odd also needed help making their goal through a defensive error, and they still look void of a creative edge.
At home, I can’t see anything but another Brann victory.
Head To Head
Each of these sides managed home wins against each other last season, with Brann thrashing Odd 6-2 at home. Odd haven’t won at Brann in their last nine visits.
Tip: 1
Odd: 1.92 - Pinnacle
Stake: 7/10
