Brann aim to claim a major scalp in the Europa League tie with Bologna, but given the Rossoblu's fine away record, we predict a 2-1 away win. Brann head into the first leg with a long injury list, as Gudmundsson, Magnusson, Opsahl, and Torsvik are all sidelined. Their recent form is concerning: just 0.70 PPG overall, 1.00 at home, and only 10% wins across their last ten matches. Defensively they struggle at home, conceding 2.20 goals per game, while offensively they remain inconsistent, failing to score in 40% of all fixtures. Their expected goals numbers (1.66 at home) suggest they can create, but the execution has been unreliable.
Bologna, on the other hand, welcome back midfielder Tommaso Pobega after suspension, but key defender Jhon Lucumí is banned, weakening the back line. Bologna’s away form is impressive—2.00 PPG, 60% win rate, and 2.20 goals scored per away match—with high BTTS rates (80%) indicating open, transition-heavy games. Their defensive record away from home (1.40 conceded) still leaves space for Brann to threaten, especially given Bologna’s only 20% clean sheets on the road.
The lone H2H ended 0–0, but the current metrics point toward a more eventful encounter this time. Given Bologna's strong away numbers and Brann’s injury-hit squad and poor form, Away Win is our main betting tip, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 19 February 2026 at 17:45.
