Fredrikstad vs Brann: prediction, tip and odds, 8 November 2026, Eliteserien

Fredrikstad vs Brann betting prediction

Our tip for Fredrikstad against Brann in Eliteserien is Brann +0 (Asian handicap) at odds 1.84, a bet the bookmakers rate at a 53% chance. We like Brann to win without the draw protecting them, and we are happy to take the stake back if the game ends level. The kick-off is 8 November 2026 at 18:15 at Fredrikstad Stadion.

Brann's table position and away numbers

Brann sit seventh with 32 points from 25 matches, while Fredrikstad are 11th on 29 points from the same number of games. In this competition Brann have 10 wins, 2 draws and 13 defeats, with 45 goals scored and 42 conceded. Fredrikstad have 8 wins, 5 draws and 12 defeats, with 29 scored and 44 conceded. Brann average 1.8 goals a match and Fredrikstad 1.2.

Fredrikstad are not poor at home, with 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats, but they have scored 14 and conceded 15 there. Brann on the road have 3 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats, with 22 scored and 22 conceded. That is a side that can win away but has leaked goals doing it.

Fredrikstad's last five matches, all competitions

This is where we lean hardest. Fredrikstad's last five matches in all competitions have produced no wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats, with 5 goals scored and 13 conceded. The league table covers only this competition, so the two sets of figures come from different games, but the message is the same.

The latest of those results was a 0-3 home defeat to Rosenborg, and before that a 5-1 defeat away at Molde. Their draws came against Vålerenga and Tromsø, both 1-1.

Brann's mixed run with a useful finish

Brann's last five in all competitions have brought 3 wins, no draws and 2 defeats, with 12 scored and 10 conceded. They beat Lincoln Red Imps 2-1 at home, lost 3-1 at Vålerenga, won 4-1 away at Kauno Žalgiris, lost 3-2 at Lillestrøm and then beat Molde 3-2 at home. That is not a smooth run, but it finished with a win and with goals at both ends.

A rivalry that has tilted toward Brann

Brann have dominated the recent meetings. In the last eight, they have won six and Fredrikstad two, with no draws. Brann scored 20 goals in those games and Fredrikstad 7. The most recent meeting, on 2 May this year, finished Brann 3-1 Fredrikstad, and the one before was a 1-0 Brann win in September last year.

Fredrikstad's best results in the sample were a 3-0 home win in March last year and a 2-0 win at Brann in April 2024. Those games show Fredrikstad can beat Brann, but they have been the exceptions.

No absences and what the market expects

No absences have been reported for either club, so we have nothing to adjust for injuries or suspensions. The bookmakers make Brann favourites at 40% for the win, with Fredrikstad on 35% and the draw on 25%. The best prices are 2.45 for Brann, 2.77 for Fredrikstad and 3.85 for the draw, and the margin on the match result is 7.9%, so there is little value hiding in the 1X2 market.

On the handicap, Brann +0 is priced at 53% and best odds of 1.84, which is the number we are working from. The expected goals are 2 each, and the most likely exact scores are 1-1 (10.4%), 1-2 (8.6%) and 2-1 (8.1%). The market tells us what it expects. It does not tell us which team will make the difference.

Why Brann +0 is our main selection

Brann have won three of their last five, while Fredrikstad have won none. Brann are seventh on 32 points and Fredrikstad 11th on 29, and Brann have won six of the last eight meetings to Fredrikstad's two. Put those together with a 53% market chance at 1.84 and the case is clear enough for us.

The settlement is straightforward. A Brann win wins the bet, so 1-2 and 0-1 both pay. A 2-1 or a 1-0 loses it, because Fredrikstad take the bet on those scores. A 1-1 or a 2-2 returns the stake. We would not back Fredrikstad +0 on this evidence, whatever their home record suggests.

Another tip: Both teams to score

Our second tip is both teams to score at 1.45, which the market prices at 65%. Fredrikstad scored in four of their last five and failed to score in only one. Brann scored in all five of their last five matches and have not failed to score in any of them, so both sides have been finding the net regularly.

This bet wins on 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 and 2-2, and loses on 0-1 and 1-0. It works well alongside the main tip, because a Brann win with Fredrikstad also scoring is a result that pays both bets.

Side bets that fit the same story

If we want a cover with more margin, we like Brann +1 at 1.23, a bet with a 78% chance. It wins unless Brann lose by two or more, and a defeat by exactly one returns the stake. It supports the same view as our main tip without needing Brann to win outright. Draw or Brann at 1.50 (65%) is another option that matches the picture, although its price is less generous. Over 2.5 goals at 1.53 (62%) reflects the goal-scoring of both sides, and it pairs naturally with our second tip. Each of these bets points the same way as our selections, and that is why we would consider them.
