An away win would surprise most
Second-placed SK Brann Bergen have picked up 20 points from nine games to lay down a marker for the top of the Eliteserien 2025 standings, while mid-table Kristiansund BK have picked up 13 from their ten matches to sit 8th.
The hosts are the clear favorites at -200, while the draw is available at +500, but there is more appeal about backing Brann to win and both teams to score on Sunday. There is no doubting which club is in better form and Brann are yet to be defeated at home in the league this season (W3, D2).
However, our SK Brann Bergen vs Kristiansund BK preview shows that Kristiansund have been very impressive away from home lately, going unbeaten in their last three Eliteserien road games (W2, D1), while they have also shown plenty of grit on their travels this campaign, losing just two of their six away fixtures (W3, D1, L2).
An intriguing stylistic clash
Brann are a high-pressing side that likes to dominate possession and attack with pace and width from their overlapping full-backs, while Kristiansund are a more compact side that have defended in numbers and attacked on the break.
Amund Skiri has been at the helm at Kristiansund BK since August 2023 and has brought stability to the club, as well as a pragmatic approach that has suited them away from home.
This SK Brann Bergen vs Kristiansund BK prediction is a fixture that has become more interesting in recent years, with a tactical battle of sorts and a contrast in playing styles, but there is a clear psychological advantage to the hosts, who are unbeaten in the last four meetings (W3, D1) and won 4-2 when they last visited in the 2025 Friendly Club Matches three months ago.
Brann will win, but KFKG can nick a goal
Freyr Alexandersson has been in charge at Brann since January 2025 and has continued to build on their high-pressing, possession-based football. Brann have not been beaten at Brann Stadion in the 2025 campaign, but they will have to stay strong at the back here as Kristiansund can really get at them on the counter-attack.
The visitors are no slouches in the final third either, as Alioune Ndour has scored two of their 4 goals in the previous five matches and is a key attacking figure.
