Viking have lost only three of their 21 league fixtures this season while accumulating 50 points. They possess the division's most prolific attack with 54 goals scored and have avoided defeat in eight of their last nine matches against Brann across all competitions. Brann have suffered ten defeats in 21 league matches and enter this contest missing suspended defender K. M. Ingason alongside several injured squad members, giving the league leaders a solid foundation to secure at least a point on the road.
