SK Brann vs Viking FK prediction: Top-of-the-table clash
Key stats
- Both teams have lost and drawn a match in their last five matches respectively (W3).
- Brann have secured back-to-back home league victories.
- Viking are winless in two successive away games across all competitions (D1, L1).
Correct score prediction: Brann 1-1 Viking
Placed second in the Eliteserien table, Brann sit nine points behind table toppers Viking with a game in hand. HamKam escaped with a draw against Brann last time, with Bard Finne missing a late penalty to miss the chance to secure all three points at Briskeby Arena – marking Brann’s second winless outing in three matches.
Viking arrive at Brann Stadion with a similar run of results, most recently falling to Sarpsborg in the NM Cup, although they remain undefeated in 14 straight Eliteserien fixtures. Both sides have struggled to find the back of the net in their recent matches, and we see them sharing spoils in what is promised to be a tight affair.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Brann with the home advantage
- HOME: 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%
- DRAW: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.5%
- AWAY: 8/5 (2.60) – 38.4%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Brann are in impeccable home form, losing just once in their previous 10 home league games. Understandably, they possess favourable odds of 5/4 (2.25), suggesting a 44.4% probability of winning at home for the third time running.
For a team winless in their last two away fixtures across all competitions, Viking have a decent chance of coming out unscathed. Their last away league loss dates back to late March – unbeaten in six since then. They have 8/5 (2.60) odds in their favour – a 38.4% chance of success.

Player to watch: Zlatko Tripic
Undoubtedly the most efficient Eliteserien player this campaign, Tripic has excelled so far with eight goals and seven assists. Despite his inability to find the back of the net in recent outings, he is a real threat to upset Brann’s backline who have conceded 21 goals in 14 games – the highest amongst top eight teams.
