Bologna vs Brann Prediction & Betting Tips (6 November)

Not at the level of the Champions League last year, Bologna seems better suited to have a good run in the Europa League this season. Facing strong opponents to start with, the Rossoblu first lost at Aston Villa 1-0 before drawing at home against Friborg 1-1. On the last day, they really launched their campaign by winning on the FCSB pitch 1-2. In Serie A, Bologna is currently 6th and 3 points behind 4th place. After going six games without a setback, 3 wins and 3 draws, Bologna traveled to Parma last weekend. Beaten on the Lille pitch for their entry into the competition 2-1, Brann then took advantage of the support of his supporters to string together two victories.

The Bergen-based team displayed their qualities by defeating Utrecht 1-0 and Rangers 3-0. On the national scene, the Norwegians are almost finished with their championship. Today they occupy 3rd place in the ranking with 7 points behind the 2nd qualifier for the preliminary rounds of C1 and 4 ahead of the 4th qualifier for the preliminary rounds of C4. After losing to leader Bodo/Glimt 1-2, Brann traveled to poorly ranked Bryne this coming weekend. 

For this meeting, Bologna remains without the experienced striker Ciro Immobile, injured. Both scorers in the last Europa League match, attackers Odgaard (2 goals in SA, 1 goal in C3) and Dallinga (2 assists in SA, 1 goal and 1 assist in C3) are applying to start this week. The latter is still in competition with the Argentinian Castro (2 goals in SA). Italian international winger Orsolini (5 goals in SA) plays a leading role for the Rossoblu.

 On Brann's side, it is necessary to highlight the withdrawals of the usual starters Knudsen (defender), Myhre (midfielder) and Magnusson (forward, 5 goals in 9 championship matches, 2 goals in C3) as well as the replacements Torsvik (defender) and Opsahl (midfielder). In the absence of Magnusson, it is Holm (1 goal in the league, 1 goal in C3) who should start up front. Scorer against Rangers, the important midfielder Kornvig (6 goals and 2 assists in the league) is available.
