Command Analysis

FC Astana

Current form
In the current championship of Kazakhstan, the "capital" team shows unconvincing results. Astana has only 18 points in 13 matches and is 14 points behind the leading "Kairat" and has four games in reserve. By and large, the team has no chance of final success in the national championship.
In the very first match against the Norwegians, all the problems of the famous Kazakh club showed up again. Brann looked much more interesting and deservedly won. The Kazakhs lost with a score of 0:2, having possession of the ball only 21% of the time and made only six shots on goal against 21 for the hosts.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team has no problems with its composition.
Interesting trends for betting
- Astana have not lost at home in four games in a row
- In European competitions, an average of four yellow cards are shown per team in matches
Estimated line-up : Chondrich, Kazukolovas, Marochkin, Amanovich, Bartolec, Ebong, Gripshi, Vorogovsky, Tomasov, Geoffrey, Kamara.

Brann

Current form
"Brann" took second place in the last championship and made it to the Conference League. At the start of the tournament, the club dealt with the Dutch "Go Heid Eagles", beating the opponent 2:1 at home, and kept the away game dry (0:0). Then the team was stronger than "St. Mirren" (1:1 and 3:1), and in the last match against their opponent they scored a goal in each half and ultimately won (2:0).
In the Norwegian championship, Eirik Horneiland's team looks confident and after 19 rounds they are in third place in the league table, eight points behind first-placed Bodo/Glimt.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team will be without the help of the injured Torsvik, Kron, Hellan and Simba.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brann have not won away from home in European competitions this season
- The club is unbeaten in its last nine games (five wins and four draws)
Tentative lineup : Dungeland, Pedersen, Knudsen, Christiansen, Soltvedt, Kartum, Kornvig, Myhre, Blumberg, Heggebo, Castro.

1.70Tip and bets
The hosts have failed only one match in the European Cups, losing to their opponent. The team will be extremely cautious and motivated. However, the visitors have gained good form and have not suffered a single defeat in the last nine matches, but Astana also looks decent at home. We believe that the home team is capable of getting at least a draw
Betting Tip - Astana will not lose with odds of 1.95
Betting on Team Goals
We can assume that the opponents in today's game will be cautious and will try to keep the goal intact. In the last two matches in a row, the visiting team did not exchange goals and we believe that both clubs will not score in this game either.
Prediction: Both teams will not score with odds of 2.05
Bet on total
The teams strive for more productive matches, but Brann is capable of drying up the game on the road. In the last two away matches of the Norwegians in European competitions, less than 2.5 goals were scored. We believe that the goal extravaganza will not take place, as in the last face-to-face match.
Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.00
