[(Brann) Strength]:

1. Brann suffered a 2-5 defeat to FC Red Bull Salzburg over 2 legs in the UEFA Champions League qualifying round. The team's recent performance in European competitions has been poor, with only three draws and two losses in the last five matches.
[Tips]:
BK Hacken pulled off a surprising upset by defeating Belgian Pro League powerhouses R.S.C. Anderlecht in the last qualifying round.
The team's performance in European competitions at home has been convincing.
Though this marks their first meeting with fellow Northern Europe side Brann, BK Hacken likely have some familiarity with their rivals' playing style and key personnel.
Brann were eliminated in the first stage of the UEFA Champions League and can only hope for the UEFA Europa League.
However, Brann's recent performance in European competitions has been rather mediocre, having failed to win in five consecutive matches.
Brann are not outstanding away from home, and they might play relatively conservatively in this away game.
To sum up, BK Hacken are expected to keep unbeaten at home.
