Oedegaard’s Sandefjord should keep it close
Brann have won seven, drawn two and lost three of their 12 Eliteserien 2025 fixtures, giving them a terrific start to the new campaign. Freyr Alexandersson’s appointment in January has brought a possession-based tactical overhaul to SK Brann Bergen and their home record in the 2025 season has been impressive.
Brann have won four, drawn two and lost just once at the Brann Stadion so far this year. Their last two results have seen them thrash Kristiansund BK 4-1 at home and lose 3-0 away to Bodo Glimt, so our SK Brann Bergen vs Sandefjord prediction shows they’re hardly a sure bet in terms of results.
However, Alexandersson has certainly made his team more dangerous in the final third with better ball circulation and improved attacking transitions. Aune Selland Heggeboe has been in particularly fine form for the hosts, scoring three goals in their last five matches, while Sandefjord will need to be wary of the Brann’s attacking momentum as they score an average of 2.00 goals per-game at home in Eliteserien 2025. This SK Brann Bergen vs Sandefjord preview will highlight how Sandefjord's defense will be under pressure.
Sandefjord’s away form a concern
Sandefjord’s recent away form is a major concern going into this Monday’s game, as they have lost two of their previous two away fixtures in the league. Hans Erik Oedegaard’s side have lost all but one of their away games in the 2025 campaign, with four defeats and one win. The current SK Brann Bergen vs Sandefjord odds reflect Sandefjord's struggles on the road.
Oedegaard took the reins at Sandefjord in May 2024 and has made them tough to break down at home. The visitors have conceded 12 goals in their five Eliteserien 2025 away matches, so our SK Brann Bergen vs Sandefjord prediction is that the home side will look to exploit any travel sickness and build on their impressive scoring run of late.
Oedegaard has solidified Sandefjord’s defensive structure at home, with their disciplined setup and counter attack allowing them to build attacking transitions.
Christopher Cheng is the dangerman for the visitors, as the winger has bagged 4 of their 11 goals in the last five Eliteserien games.
Brann can edge it on home turf
Both of these teams have taken three wins and two defeats from their previous five games in Eliteserien 2025, but the bookmakers have Brann as clear favourites for this one. This SK Brann Bergen vs Sandefjord prediction is supported by both teams’ recent form and home advantage.
With home advantage, we’re backing the favourites to take this one, but the odds on offer are too short to get behind. However, the SK Brann Bergen vs Sandefjord betting tips suggest that the ‘over 2.5 goals’ market looks very attractive given Brann’s home scoring stats and Sandefjord’s defensive woes on the road.
Brann will look to press Sandefjord hard on the turn, so this could be an open game with plenty of pace to it. Brann will be desperate to get at the home crowd with another win, so we’re going with the hosts to edge this contest.
