The university looked unconvincing in friendly matches, failed to win a single victory. There was no breakthrough in the official meetings at the start of the season. Cristiano Bergodi's team failed to overcome the resistance of Dynamo Kyiv in the first qualifying round of the Europa League. Both matches with the Ukrainians ended in a draw, the fate of the confrontation was decided in a penalty shootout, where the Kievans showed themselves better. In the Romanian Super Cup, the University also lost in a penalty shootout to its team-mates from Craiova. The team's only victory so far was in the first round of the national championship over Farul (2:1).
Brann is coming to the start of the Conference League qualification in excellent playing condition. After the resumption of the Norwegian championship, Eric Horneland's team scored two wins in two rounds with the same score 2:1 over Start and Molde. Thanks to the six points he scored, Brann rose to sixth place in the standings, clearly the pause in the championship was beneficial.
Brann has transformed himself after the break, has scored two wins in the national championship, and has no problems scoring goals. The university is clearly still in search of a game, taking into account all the tournaments and friendly meetings, the Romanians have won only one victory, and you can regularly see problems with creating and implementing chances. At the moment, the Norwegians are stronger in all respects than their opponent and are able to confirm the status of the favorite, which they have been given by bookmakers.
