Sportsklubben Brann head into another match with the pressure mounting after a difficult spell. The team faces a high-flying third-division side, a task that comes at a time when results have taken a turn for the worse.
Brann currently sit eighth in the Eliteserien with 26 points from 20 games. Their last five matches have yielded just one win, two draws, and two defeats, with two consecutive losses in their most recent outings. The latest was a 2-0 defeat to Start last weekend.
The short version
- Brann face a third-division side under increasing pressure.
- The team has lost its last two league matches.
- The next league game is against table-toppers Bodø/Glimt at home on September 20.
Manager Eirik Horneland has emphasised that the team must find its way back to winning ways. He said the performance against Start did not get the deserved result, but the squad must stick together and work through this period.
With an injury situation keeping out players like Kjartan Mar Kjartansson and Sakarias Opsahl, the squad is being tested.
The match against the third-division side is an important opportunity to build confidence ahead of the major home clash with Bodø/Glimt. The team's top scorer this season is N. Holm with six goals.
