Enthusiasm is palpable and justified. Something unimaginable for Hacken. Yes, because the Swedish team managed to knock a major team like Anderlecht out of the Europa League in August. And no one, of course, would have bet a single euro on it.
In the northern derby, therefore, there is a favorite, and it is the home team, which has shown that it can compete against anyone by exploiting some important characteristics. The main one, of course, is a very strong personality, equally evident courage, and a belief in its own abilities that can make all the difference. Because after the defeat in Belgium in the first leg, thinking about overturning the prediction was a major blow. So? So a home win against Brann, who were eliminated from the Champions League by Salzburg, is on the cards. And how! Especially because the psychological blow to the Norwegians was significant. In short, at least for this match, the situation is looking good.

Prediction
In a match that could well see at least one goal per team, Hacken should be able to take the win on the wings of justified enthusiasm after eliminating Anderlecht. This result will set the tone for qualification, although objectively speaking, everything should be decided in the return leg.
