Brann vs Haugesund Prediction: Form, Stats, and AI Betting Tips

Welcome to our Brann vs Haugesund prediction for the Eliteserien match scheduled on October 18, 2025. As both teams prepare for this crucial encounter, fans and bettors alike are keen to see whether Brann can maintain their impressive run, or if Haugesund can pull off a shock result. Let’s break down the tactics, team news, and betting tips for what promises to be a telling fixture in Norway’s top flight.

Team Form, Tactics, and Head to Head Insights

Brann and Haugesund come into this game at opposite ends of the Eliteserien spectrum. Brann, currently sitting 3rd with 46 points from 23 matches, are enjoying one of their best seasons in recent memory. They have claimed victory in four of their last six league games, boasting a 67% win rate in that span. Their last head to head meeting saw Brann dominate with a 2-0 away win, controlling possession and creating the lion’s share of chances.

Haugesund, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the table with just 6 points from 22 games. Their away form is particularly worrying, with five defeats in their last six on the road. Defensive frailty and a lack of attacking cohesion have plagued them all year, despite the efforts of key players like Sory Ibrahim Diarra and Madiodio Dia.

  • Brann’s tactical approach: Under Freyr Alexandersson, Brann have become a possession-based side, often dictating the tempo and pressing high. Their recent signings—Eggert Guðmundsson, Denzel De Roeve, and Mads Hansen—have added depth and quality, especially as they juggle domestic and European commitments.
  • Haugesund’s struggles: Since appointing Toni Korkeakunnas in May, Haugesund have tried to shore up defensively, but the results have yet to follow. Injuries to key figures like Anders Bondhus and a string of suspensions have left them short-handed, and morale is low as the threat of relegation looms.

The gulf in squad value—€31.00m for Brann versus €7.85m for Haugesund—underscores the challenge facing the visitors. Even in their most recent encounters, Brann have looked the more composed and clinical side.

Injuries, Suspensions, and Squad News

  • Brann will be missing J. Torsvik and S. Opsahl through injury, while several players are away on international duty. However, their depth should see them cope comfortably.
  • Haugesund are without Anders Bondhus and have several players racing to return from knocks. Bruno Leite and Madiodio Dia are walking a disciplinary tightrope, which could impact their aggression in midfield.

Both managers are relatively new to their posts, but while Alexandersson has Brann dreaming of Europe, Korkeakunnas is fighting fires at the foot of the table.

AI Betting Tips and Brann vs Haugesund Prediction

Now, let’s turn to the numbers and our AI-powered betting tips for this Brann vs Haugesund prediction. The odds paint a clear picture: Brann are overwhelming favorites at 1.1 for the home win, with a draw priced at 9.5 and a Haugesund upset at a distant 21.0.

  1. Best Tip: Home -1 (H1) – Brann to win by at least two goals difference. Our AI rates this at a perfect 10.0/10 confidence, with odds of 1.3. Given Brann’s attacking firepower and Haugesund’s defensive woes, this looks like a banker.
  2. 1X2 Prediction: Brann to win – With a trust rating of 10.0 and odds of 1.1, the home side’s dominance in possession (expected at 69%) and shot count (16 shots, 7 on target) should translate to a comfortable victory.
  3. Over/Under Market: Over 2.5 goals – The AI suggests a moderate trust score of 5.7 and odds of 1.25. With Brann expected to create plenty of chances, and Haugesund likely to be chasing the game, goals seem likely.

The final score prediction from our model is a resounding 3:0 in favor of Brann, with a 1:0 lead anticipated at half-time. Expect the home side to rack up corners (7 predicted) and keep Haugesund’s opportunities to a minimum (just 1 shot on target forecasted).

Summary and Final Thoughts

In summary, all signs point to a commanding Brann win. The gap in form, squad value, and tactical cohesion is simply too wide. For those seeking betting tips, the handicap market (H1) and over 2.5 goals offer the best value, while the 1X2 market is as close to a sure thing as they come in football. This Brann vs Haugesund prediction is one for both the stats lovers and the casual fans—a match where the numbers, history, and current form all align.

Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just tuning in for the football, this encounter looks set to reinforce Brann’s status as a top-three side, while Haugesund’s relegation worries deepen. Don’t miss it!
