Brann will look to secure their place in the next round of the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers when they welcome Universitatea Cluj after a thrilling 2-2 draw in the first leg. The Norwegian side have been involved in plenty of entertaining matches recently, with their latest Eliteserien outing ending in a 3-2 defeat against Valerenga. Brann have struggled defensively, keeping no clean sheets in their last ten matches, while both teams have scored in every game during that period. Dragsnes and Sorensen are pushing for starting spots after appearing from the bench at the weekend, but Boakye and Opsahl remain sidelined. With home advantage and an aggressive style of play, Brann are expected to take the initiative.
Universitatea Cluj, meanwhile, know they need a much-improved performance if they want to progress. The Romanian side were second best for long spells in the first leg, enjoying only 32% possession and struggling to contain Brann’s attacking threat. Their away form is a major concern, with no victories in their last four matches on the road and just one goal scored during that period. However, Pinho and Lukic made an immediate impact in the first meeting, scoring after coming off the bench, and both forwards are pushing for recalls. Given Brann’s defensive vulnerabilities and Universitatea’s need to attack, another high-scoring encounter looks likely.
Brann have been the more dangerous team going forward and should benefit from home advantage. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Brann’s last ten matches have averaged 3.8 goals per game, while the first leg also produced four goals).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 30 July 2026 at 18:00.
