Going to side with Brann ...........


... to defeat the Swedish Superettan part timers, Atvidaberg.

The Norwegian league leaders fielded very much a "b" team in the first leg, that plan came unstuck. As, despite racing to an early 2-0 lead, they had to settle for a 3-3 tie. Which means, pretty much anything other than an away win, will see the home side progressing.

Brann are fielding a much stronger line up tonight, are fully rested after a free weekend and if fully motivated, they should run out comfortable winners. Atvidaberg play an open style and have 5 wins and 5 losses in 10 home games this season, the match will be played in Vaxjo, a couple of hours travel for the home fans .

I strongly favour the visitors, who would not have named the following line up, if not fully committed to the cause......Håkon Opdal – Bjørn Dahl, Olafur Örn Bjarnason, Kristjan Örn Sigurdsson, Erlend Hanstveit – Charlie Miller, Martin Andresen, Helge Haugen, Erik Huseklepp – Bengt Sæternes and Robbie Winters.

4 points Brann -1 goal 1.86 asian line.

Good Luck.
