Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Zafer Turan prepares his side for kick-off, our prediction is for a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the game. Stats imply both teams possess a number of attacking options, an encouraging sign for the neutrals. With a real favourite to win the game, we really like the look of over 2.5 goals.

Goal Statistics

SK Brann's defensive record is to be admired, Zafer Turan's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Eliteserien outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Sarpsborg 08 makes sense in this context.
