Molde are the narrow favorites for this one
Molde FK vs SK Brann Bergen preview suggests Molde FK are the narrow favorite here at 2.0, just ahead of Brann at 3.2 and the draw at 3.75, and it's hard to see them not justifying their status as hosts on Saturday. Molde sit 5th in the Eliteserien 2026 table with 20 points from 12 matches, while SK Brann Bergen are 8th with 16 from 13, so the hosts have a bit of a paper advantage but the difference in the table is only 4 points.
Martin Falk's side are the more structured and patient team of the two and they should have enough quality to play their way through the pressure of Brann, who have enough energy and cutting edge to make it interesting for the hosts.
Molde's last two outings have been a 2-1 friendly defeat to Rosenborg BK and a 2-2 Eliteserien draw away at Aalesunds FK, so they arrive at Aker Stadion, Norway, with some bite but not yet in full control. Eirik Hestad has been their spark, scoring 2 of their 5 goals in the last 5 matches, while Kristian Eriksen does the same for Brann with 3 of their 6 in the same period.
Brann will make it tough, but Molde are the pick
Brann are a fast team, Eirik Horneland's 4-3-5 high-pressing game can cause all sorts of chaos, especially for teams who like to play the ball out from the back, but Molde are exactly that sort of team.
The H2H record makes Molde the strong play here, as they beat Brann 4-0 at home in Eliteserien 2025 and have won all 3 of the previous meetings. Brann haven't won any of their last 3 away games at Molde either, so there are clear reasons to have the home side ahead in the 3-way market.
Brann have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 4 of their 7 away matches in Eliteserien 2026, conceding 13 and an average of 1.86 per game on their travels. Molde have won 2 and lost 1 of their last 3 at home, so we're expecting a close Molde win or a very tense tie.
