This is not the first game this season in the NM Cup for Brann, as the manager Horneland led his troops to eliminate Voss and Os, and reach the 3rd Round. Brann was eliminated in the 4th round last season in the NM Cup. When playing at home in the Obos-Ligaen, Brann have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 0 defeats from 5 games. It's back home for Brann, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Grorud away with the result 2-0. Nilsen and Heggebø found the net in that victory. The match schedule is unforgiving for Brann as they have a new game in only four days, a Obos-Ligaen match thankfully also at home. Bryne are visiting. Brann have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
