Bran currently ranks third in the Norwegian Super League standings, but has lost the possibility of competing for the championship. In mid-to-late October, Bran defeated Haugesund, Glasgow Rangers and Rosenborg, winning three consecutive games. However, in the last two games, Bran Athletic's competitive state has experienced great fluctuations. In the league competition, they lost 1-2 to Bode Shining and 1-2 to Black, suffering two consecutive defeats. During the two-game losing streak, Brann lost the ball continuously in a short period of time, which led to the defeat. Therefore, it is crucial for Bran to keep the guard focused.

In terms of historical confrontation records, the two teams have never met before.
