Bologna take a narrow 1â0 advantage into the return leg, and their overall form shows improvement with 1.40 PPG across the last five matches. As Brann failed to impress in the first leg, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-0 home win. The Rossoblu’s attacking metrics are strong, averaging 1.50 goals per game and producing an xG of 1.89, while conceding just 0.95 xGA, showing defensive control. Despite a poor home record recently (0.40 PPG), Bologna remain solid in Europe and limited Brann to only four total attempts in the first leg. Defender Charalampos Lykogiannis should be the only absentee in the home team.Brann face an uphill task after creating very little away from home and entering this match with just 0.70 PPG overall in recent form. Their scoring numbers are concerning: only 0.40 goals per away game and 60% failed-to-score rate on the road. Defensively, they concede 1.60 goals per away match, and their xGA away (1.49) suggests trouble against higher-level opponents. With no fresh injuries, the Norwegians will need a major attacking upgrade to threaten the tie.
Injuries (Brann): None.
