Brann vs Arouca Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Europa Conference League Qualification on Thursday, 17 August 2023.
The first leg of this clash ended in a 2-1 win for Arouca as expected. They were having a strong form at home before entering that match and such a strong run reflected in their display to seal a victory in the first leg.
However, they have failed to prevent their opposition from scoring till 90 as Brann’s Danish striker Warming scored one at 80th minute to keep their chances alive.
Going on, Brann will have the home advantage in the second leg. With an achievable target, we expect a tight match between these two on Thursday.
Their only meeting in the past ended in a 2-1 win for Arouca.
The home form of Brann also looks impressive as the team lost just once in the past 25 matches across all competitions. They won 22 matches in those 25 matches too.
Meanwhile, Arouca’s away recordings looks unimpressive as the team lost two of the last three. Do also note that they faced outfits from their domestic league in those matches.
Therefore, Brann’s unbeaten form at home forces us to back them here to seal a win against this Arouca side on Thursday.
Three of the last five home matches of Brann was low-scoring. Also Arouca’s last 10 consecutive road trips had goals under 2.5 ft. In that case, we don’t expect this match to have goals over 2.5 ft.
Brann bagged three clean sheets from the last six home outings. On the other side, Arouca failed to score in two of their last three road trips. Considering that trend, we don’t expect this match to have goals from both ends.
We expect Brann to seal a victory in the second leg of this semi final qualification clash on Thursday. Their home form with Arouca’s inconsistent away form inclines us to consider such a display.
We therefore like to place Brann to seal a win as the main betting tip. For the second tip, we like to place the under 2.5 goals tip considering the weak defenses of both.
