---------------------------------
SK Brann
SK Brann, coached by Freyr Alexandersson, holds a 2-0 lead from the first leg against BK Häcken on August 7, 2025, with both goals scored by Saevar Atli Magnusson (16', 57'). Their recent form includes a 4-1 win over Sarpsborg 08 in the Norwegian Eliteserien on August 10, 2025, averaging 2.3 goals scored and 1.3 goals conceded in their last three competitive matches. Key players include Magnusson (5 goals in 6 matches), Felix Horn Myhre, and Matias Dyngeland, with a probable 4-3-3 lineup: Dyngeland; Pedersen, Helland, Larsen, Soltvedt; Myhre, Sorensen, Kornvig; Mathisen, Magnusson, Gudmundsson. Brann’s strengths are their home dominance at Brann Stadion (4 wins in last 4 home games, scoring 12) and pressing style, but injuries to Jonas Torsvik and Niklas Jensen Wassberg are concerns. They aim to advance to the playoff round against the loser of the Dynamo Kyiv/Rangers Champions League tie.
BK Häcken
BK Häcken, led by Jens Gustafsson, faces a 2-0 deficit after failing to score in the first leg. They drew 0-0 against Degerfors in the Swedish Allsvenskan on August 10, 2025, averaging 1.0 goal scored and 1.7 goals conceded in their last three competitive matches. Key players include Simon Gustafson, Amor Layouni, and new signing Etrit Berisha, with a probable 4-3-3 lineup: Berisha; Lindberg, Lode, Samuelsson, Lundqvist; Andersen, Holm, Rygaard Jensen; Svanback, Gustafson, Layouni. Häcken’s strengths are their attacking intent (6-3 win over Anderlecht in prior round) and counter-attacks, but injuries to Johan Hammar (Achilles), Andreas Linde, and Brice Wembangomo, plus a winless run in three games, are issues. They need a two-goal victory to force extra time, with a loss dropping them to the Conference League.
Head-to-Head
Brann won the first leg 2-0 on August 7, 2025, their only competitive meeting. Brann had 16 shots to Häcken’s 9, with 8 corners for Brann and 6 for Häcken, and 82% pass accuracy for Brann vs. 75% for Häcken. Matches between Norwegian and Swedish clubs in UEFA competitions average 2.7 goals, with 60% over 2.5 goals and 50% both teams scoring (BTTS). Brann’s first-leg dominance gives them the edge.
Predicted Score: SK Brann 2-1 BK Häcken (4-1 aggregate)
Brann’s Magnusson and Myhre face Häcken’s Gustafson and Layouni, with Brann’s home fortress and two-goal lead tested by Häcken’s desperate attacking push. Brann are favorites (1.53 odds, 65% win probability) over Häcken (5.40), with a draw at 4.50. Trends (Brann: 60% over 2.5 goals; Häcken: 40%) and the first leg suggest a tight game, with betting tips favoring Brann -1 Asian Handicap (1.85 odds) and BTTS-No (1.71), per Tips.GG. Cards may be issued in the 18°C evening if Häcken’s urgency leads to fouls, with Brann’s 20 yellows and 1 red in their last 5 games indicating aggression. The winner advances to the Europa League playoff round; the loser drops to the Conference League play-offs. Brann is likely to score through Magnusson, with Layouni possibly netting for Häcken. Brann’s home form, defensive solidity, and first-leg advantage should secure a narrow win, advancing them to the playoff round, though Häcken’s counter-attacks may keep it competitive.
