Sandefjord vs Brann (30 August 2026, Eliteserien): match facts, form and head-to-head

A goalless stalemate in Sandefjord left the hosts still languishing in 13th place with 20 points from ten wins, five draws and ten defeats, their 18‑27 goal difference offering little comfort as the season heads toward its climax. Brann, sitting comfortably in eighth with 26 points after eight victories, two draws and ten losses, were unable to break through the resilient defence that has kept them unbeaten in three of their four meetings this campaign. The draw maintains the narrow gap between the two sides in the head‑to‑head record – Sandefjord’s solitary win and a single draw remain the only points they have taken from Brann so far. Both clubs now turn their attention to the next round, aware that every point is crucial in the battle for survival and a mid‑table finish.
