SK Brann sit on a 1.6 xG advantage at home while Rosenborg scrape only 0.5 away xG. Our model backs Brann at 64.6% to take all three points, but the market offers no clear value.

Both teams arrive with contrasting recent runs – Brann have been erratic, Rosenborg are on a three‑game winning streak. The Norwegian champions will look to cement their rise, while Brann aim to snap a wobble that has seen them drop points at home.

Lars's Verdict

LIVE
SK Brann vs Rosenborg
0 - 0
Lean
No clear edge Lean · No edge

The model’s 24.2% draw probability versus the market’s 25% implied means there is no statistically significant advantage to any specific outcome.

Show the maths
The market’s draw odds of 4.0 translate to an implied probability of 25%. Our model assigns a 24.2% chance to a draw, a difference of just 0.8 percentage points. That gap is within normal model variance and does not constitute a betting edge. Consequently, the only notable probability gap is Brann’s 64.6% win chance, but without corresponding market odds we cannot quantify an advantage.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) 68.6% model probability

With SK Brann averaging 1.6 expected goals and Rosenborg averaging 0.5, the model gives a 68.6% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 31.4% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (SK Brann 1.6, Rosenborg 0.5) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 31.4% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 68.6% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals 65.0% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.1 (SK Brann 1.6 + Rosenborg 0.5) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 65.0% chance against 35.0% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (SK Brann 1.6 + Rosenborg 0.5 = 2.1 combined): 35.0% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 65.0% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has SK Brann at 64.6%, the draw at 24.2%, and Rosenborg at 11.3% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 19.6% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Wildcard angles
Pick 5 · Total Match Corners
Over 10.5 Total Match Corners 1.67 best price

SK Brann vs Rosenborg is priced at 1.67 (LeoVegas) for more than 10.5 total corners — a useful secondary angle when a side is expected to dominate territory or sit back and defend deep.

Show the maths
Total corners lines come from bookmaker pricing rather than our Poisson model. The 10.5 line quoted by LeoVegas at 1.67 reflects expected attacking territory and tempo — treat this as a wildcard angle alongside, not instead of, the main pick.

Form Guide — Last 5

SK Brann

LLWWL

Brann’s recent league form of LLWWL includes a 2‑1 win over Start at home and a 2‑1 victory away at Molde, showing they can break down strong opponents. However, a 2‑3 loss to Valerenga at home and a 1‑2 defeat to Sarpsborg 08 highlight defensive fragility, suggesting the home side may concede while still finding the net.

Rosenborg

LDWWW

Rosenborg have surged with three straight wins – a 3‑0 home thrashing of Kristiansund, a 3‑0 away win at Start, and a 4‑0 home demolition of Fredrikstad – underscoring an attacking edge. Their only blemish is a 0‑2 away loss to KFUM Oslo, indicating they can be vulnerable on the road, but the recent clean‑sheet streak points to a solid defensive record.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings, Brann have won three (including a 3‑0 home win in May 2024) while Rosenborg have managed two draws, the most recent being a 1‑1 stalemate in April 2026 – a pattern that favours Brann’s win probability.

More From This Week

With Brann’s win probability at 64.6% and the draw only 24.2%, the market’s 4.0 price for a draw (25% implied) offers no statistical edge, leaving the home side as the clear favorite but without a betting advantage.
