Brann will be aiming to take another step towards the Conference League group stage when they host Apollon in the first leg of their third qualifying round tie. The Norwegian outfit have enjoyed a productive spell in Europe, eliminating Universitatea Cluj 5-3 on aggregate in the previous round before edging Rosenborg 3-2 in an entertaining Eliteserien clash at the weekend. Both Hlynur Ingason and Sander Eriksen are pushing for starting roles after coming off the bench to score against Rosenborg, while injuries to Opsahl, Boakye, and Torsvik remain the only selection concerns. Brann's recent matches have been full of excitement, with both teams scoring in each of their last ten outings.
Apollon, meanwhile, arrive in Norway brimming with confidence after dismantling Dila Gori 7-0 on aggregate in the previous round. Brandon Thomas has been in outstanding form throughout the Conference League qualifiers and will once again be the visitors' main attacking threat. However, Apollon have struggled for consistency on the road, winning just one of their last four away matches, while Brann have looked far more convincing on home soil, averaging over two goals per game in their last six home outings. With both sides enjoying strong attacking spells, an entertaining first leg is on the cards, but home advantage could prove decisive.
As Brann have been strong at home and should capitalize on their excellent momentum, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win. Additionally, BTTS and Over 2.5 goals markets are worth considering as both teams have been involved in high-scoring games recently.
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Wednesday 5 August 2026 at 18:00.
