Brann will be looking to move within two points of Eliteserien leaders Bodo/Glimt when they play host to Haugesund on Saturday. Sancheev Manoharan’s men have lost their last four games against the hosts and will journey to the Brann Stadion looking to end this dry spell.
Brann were outplayed and outclassed by Bodo/Glimt last Sunday as they suffered a 5-1 defeat against the league leaders at the Aspmyra Stadion.
Before that, Eirik Horneland’s side were on a four-game unbeaten run across all competitions, claiming three wins and one draw since late May.
With 22 points from 15 matches, Brann are currently second in the Eliteserien table, five points behind the Glimt, who have one game in hand.
Haugesund, meanwhile, continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the table as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Sarpsborg last weekend.
Manoharan’s men have now lost three of their last four league matches, with a 2-1 home victory over Sandefjord on May 26 being the exception.
With 13 points from 12 matches, Haugesund are 14th in the Eliteserien standings but could move into ninth place with all three points on Saturday.
