Prediction: Bologna Wins
Brann are playing away from home for the first time since January, and they come here as heavy underdogs. The Norwegian league being off hasn’t helped them, but their away form in Europe has for some time been a concern.
Winless in four on the road in Europe, Brann also failed to score in two of the matches. Bologna, meanwhile, are coming off three straight wins and will be fired up for this game. Our prediction for Bologna v Brann is for Bologna to win without conceding.

Bologna are getting back to their best. They have posted three straight wins in all competitions after their 1-0 win at home to Udinese. One of those wins was against Brann, and they will be looking to complete the job with a home win.
Two straight clean sheets also signal an improvement in defence. This match marks the third meeting between the two, and Bologna haven’t conceded a goal.

The goal for Brann isn’t just scoring a first-ever goal against Bologna but also overturning the slim deficit. They will come loaded with belief that they can do it, but recent history doesn’t favor them.
Brann are winless in their last four competitive matches, and all happen to be in the Europa League. Three of those four matches ended in defeat, the latest of them a 1-0 fall to Bologna.
That was the second time this season that they faced the Italians. The first, in the league stage in November, ended 0-0. A five-match winless run on the road will also not be helpful mentally for Brann.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Bologna -1/1.5
European Handicap: Bologna Wins
Predicted Scores: 1-0, 2-0, 3-0
Predicted Total Goals: 1, 2, 3
