Week 22 features a match on Sun Sep 17th, where Stabæk will play host to Brann in a meeting of these two Eliteserien teams. In their last match, 15th placed Stabæk, recorded a 1-2 loss against Strømsgodset. Simen Wangberg scored the first goal for Stabæk in the 15th minute, then Herman Stengel tied it up for Strømsgodset in the 17th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 80th minute on a goal by Gustav Valsvik. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 2 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Brann recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Sarpsborg 08. Sivert Heltne Nilsen scored the first goal for Brann in the 69th minute on a penalty shot, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Sarpsborg 08 couldn’t muster any offence and Brann ran away with the shutout win. Brann is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on the 16th of May, Brann won by a score of 4 to 1. Bard Finne struck first for Brann in the 30th minute, then Kasper Hogh got the equalizer for Stabæk in the 35th minute on a feed from Kevin Kabran.
Brann’s top weapon lately has been Niklas Castro, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches. Lars Jendal and Mushaga Bakenga are the top scorers for Stabæk in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
