SlipsTips examines the Bet Builder market ahead of Brann’s clash with Molde in the Norwegian Eliteserien on Thursday evening.
Brann vs Molde (Thursday, 17:00)
Brann and Molde will square off in an intriguing-looking Norwegian Eliteserien encounter on Thursday evening.
Freyr Alexandersson’s side moved up to second place in the table over the weekend thanks to a 2-0 success away at Haugesund.
Molde, in contrast, suffered their second defeat in succession when falling to a 2-1 loss at HamKam last time out.
Brann Double Chance
Brann have started the season in impressive fashion, avoiding defeat in eight of their opening nine Norwegian Eliteserien assignments of the season. In fact, Brann’s only league defeat this term to date came on the opening weekend of the season, meaning that they are currently enjoying an eight-game unbeaten run. That eight-game sample includes each of Brann’s five home games, making them a worthy Double Chance selection for the first leg of the Bet Builder.
Molde, on the other hand, have made an underwhelming start to the season, winning just two of their opening eight league games, failing to triumph in three of their opening four road trips of the campaign.
Over 0 Brann Goals
For the second leg of the Bet Builder, I’ll also back Brann to score at least once on Thursday evening. The pride of Bergen have made the net bulge in seven of their nine league assignments this season so far, including four of their five outings in front of their own supporters. It’s also worth noting that Brann have hit multiple goals in a league-high seven of their nine league games this season.
That doesn’t bode well for a Molde side that have posted just two clean sheets across their eight Norwegian Eliteserien matches this season thus far, conceding two or more goals in four of those fixtures.
Over 4 Brann Corners
I’ll conclude the Bet Builder by siding with Brann to earn five or more corners on Thursday evening. The attack-minded hosts have averaged a sizable 7.56 corners per game across the opening stretch of the Norwegian Eliteserien season. That average rises to a whopping 8.40 flag-kicks per 90 when operating at their Bergen base.
What's more, Brann have covered the 5+ corners line in each of their five league games at home this season, and everything points towards that trend continuing when they meet a Molde side that conceded six corners away at Ham Kam last time out.
