St Mirren will be hoping to shock their opponents as they travel to Norway this Thursday. They face Brann in the second leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League after rescuing a draw in the last minute of the first leg at home.
Brann took the lead after 75 minutes in the first fixture only to concede just before full time. It is not the first time this season that Brann have managed an opening leg draw away from home. In the last round, the Norwegian team drew 0-0 at Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles before returning home to win 2-1.
As the league season in Norway starts in the spring, Brann are already in full flow, having played 18 games so far this season, losing just three times. They are currently third in the Eliteserien, but their form has faltered slightly in recent weeks, winning one and drawing three of their last five games. This season, they have averaged 2.8 goals per game and scored three or more goals on three occasions in the league, and twice in the Norwegian Cup.
St Mirren have played just two league games this season so far, winning one and losing the other. Last weekend they travelled to Aberdeen and lost 3-1, their only goal coming from Toyosi Olusanya who has already scored three times in all competitions this season. If the Scottish side have any hopes of beating Brann this Thursday, he’ll have to be on top form.
Our team of experts have decided that the best tip for this game is for Brann to Win and Over 2.5 goals. With 3/4 odds on Ladbrokes, a £10 bet could see potential returns of £17.50.
Brann vs St Mirren kicks off at 6pm BST on Thursday 15th August. The match is not available to watch in the UK.
