Gent – Brann

Gent, sitting second in the league with 16 points from five wins and a draw and a striking 11‑3 goal difference, will host Brann on their own turf. The Norwegian side arrive in eighth place, having amassed 26 points through eight victories and two draws, but their defensive record—conceding 31 goals—suggests they will need to tighten up against a disciplined Gent defence. Gent’s unbeaten run this season gives them a psychological edge, while Brann’s ten losses underline the challenge of breaking through a side that has yet to taste defeat. Both teams will be keen to improve their positions, with Gent aiming to close the gap at the top and Brann hoping to climb back into the European spots.
