Betting Tip
Brann are clear favourites for the match, and that is hard to argue with. Firstly, the Norwegian league is in full swing — yes, Brann are only sixth, but in the early rounds of European competition, match practice should not be underestimated. Apollon, meanwhile, are only easing into the season — the Cypriots have played just two competitive games, both against Georgian side Dila.
Secondly, the Norwegians have a strong home run: 6 wins in their last 10 matches, including against Romanian side Universitatea in the previous round of the UEFA Conference League. In the Conference League, incidentally, Brann have still not lost at home in normal time: six matches, five wins and one defeat on penalties against AZ.
Apollon have won only 3 of their last 10 away matches, while away from home in the Conference League the Cypriots have just one victory — against Dila in the previous round.
We suggest boosting the not especially tempting 1.58 on a home win with Both teams to score, which has landed in 12 consecutive competitive Brann matches and in 10 of Apollon's last 15 matches.
