Command Analysis
Brann
NorwayCurrent form
Brann started the Conference League qualification with a clash against Go Ahead Eagles. The Norwegians drew away and won 2-1 at home. The same scenario was followed by a two-legged clash with Scottish St. Mirren - a 1-1 draw away and a 3-1 home win.
So far, the home arena factor has helped the team in European competitions. Interestingly, Brann does not look so convincing in the national championship when playing at home – they have won five of their nine matches, have drawn twice with their opponents and lost twice. In the table, Eirik Horneland’s team is in second place, five points behind Bodø-Glimt.
Disqualifications and injuries
In the games against Go Ahead Eagles, two right-backs, Svend Crone and Martin Hellan, were injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- In four of the last five matches, Brann have scored goals in the opening 45 minutes.
- Goals have been exchanged in four of the Norwegians' previous five matches.
Tentative lineup : Düngeland, Pedersen, Knudsen, Christiansen R., Soldtved, Kartum, Kornvig, Myhre, Blomberg, Finne, Castro.
FC Astana
KazakhstanCurrent form
At the moment, there is a pause in the Kazakhstan championship. Obviously, Astana can now focus on the European Cups, where things are going well. Behind them are two qualifying rounds of the Conference League, where there were not the most difficult opponents. Grigoriy Babayan's charges dealt with Mils with a total score of 2:1 in the sum of two matches, and they even "shipped" eight goals to the Romanian Hunedoara in two games, while they themselves conceded only twice.
It should be noted that for the first time in its European Cup history, Astana will be going on such a long flight to Norway. This may create certain difficulties, although the team has quite an experienced roster.
Disqualifications and injuries
The main players, defenders Yan Vorogovsky and Alexander Marochkin, are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Astana have scored goals in four of their last five away matches in all competitions.
- Astana have kept clean sheets in the first half in four of their previous five matches.

9.30Tip and bets
Undoubtedly, Brann is dangerous on its home field, as it achieved success in the two previous European Cup matches largely due to home victories. However, Astana is an experienced team, capable of adapting to any opponent, especially since the Norwegians play open football and allow their opponents a lot at their goal. Both teams are on the move now, there are no problems with game practice, we think that the guests are capable of at least not losing big.
Our prediction is Astana's victory with an Asian handicap (+1.5) at odds of 1.93
