In a weekend match on Sun Jul 2nd, in week 12, Brann will host HamKam in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Eliteserien teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, a perfect day for football. Brann sits at 3rd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-3 loss against Viking. Bard Finne scored the first goal for Brann in the 32nd minute, but Zlatko Tripić got the equalizer for Viking in the 41st minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 69th minute on a goal by Lars-Jørgen Salvesen. Brann should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 15th placed HamKam, recorded a 0-1 loss against Odd. L. Hien struck first for Odd in the 83rd minute on a feed from Solomon Owusu, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, HamKam was frustrated by Odd’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Odd ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 4 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Brann is fortunate enough to have Bard Finne in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals.
