Brann have shown a significant upturn in form over their last three matches, particularly at home where they've secured two wins, including a dominant performance in their most recent outing. Their overall season record is a mixed bag, with an equal number of wins and losses, but their home form has been more consistent, averaging nearly two goals per game. The side clearly possesses attacking intent, evidenced by a high shot volume in recent games, especially in their last match which saw them unleash 31 shots. However, their defensive record at home, conceding 1.4 goals on average, suggests they can be vulnerable.
