Brann – Sarpsborg 08 FF

Brann’s home defeat at the hands of Sarpsborg 08 FF left the Bergen side slipping to eighth place with 26 points, a record of eight wins, two draws and ten losses, and a modest +6 goal difference (37‑31). The visitors moved up to ninth, edging the table with 25 points from six victories, seven draws and seven defeats, but their -3 goal margin (23‑26) reflects a tighter defence than Brann’s.

Both clubs now find themselves locked in a tight mid‑table battle as the campaign pushes toward its climax.
