Brann 3-1 Fredrikstad result, stats and report

Brann dominated in attack with 21 shots to Sandefjord's 13, hit the woodwork once, and still could not find a way through in a frustrating Norwegian Eliteserien goalless draw. Sandefjord's goalkeeper and defence held firm despite a side desperately short of form and fitness.

Lillestrøm scored twice inside the first 22 minutes and held on to win 2-1 at Brann, despite the home side dominating possession, shots, and everything except the scoreboard. Bård Finne pulled one back in the 89th minute but it was too little, too late.

Fredrikstad controlled the majority of this Eliteserien clash but could not hold their lead, as Bodø / Glimt showed exactly why they are the team to beat with a cool second-half equaliser from Bryan Fiabema.

Fredrikstad put in a clinical second-half display at Lillestrøm to run out 4-1 winners in the Norwegian Eliteserien, with Benjamin Faraas scoring twice to kill the game off. Lillestrøm had more of the ball, more shots, and still lost by three. That tells you everything.

PAOK dominated possession and territory for large portions of this Conference League opener but had to settle for a draw after Brann's clinical counter-punch was cancelled out by a headed equaliser from a substitute. The statistics paint a picture of a match PAOK should have won.

Vålerenga have conceded sixteen goals in their last five Eliteserien matches and are yet to keep a clean sheet in that run. Fredrikstad arrive in Oslo having won four of their last five.

Fredrikstad host local rivals Sarpsborg 08 in a mid-table Eliteserien derby on Sunday, with the home side's impressive home record clashing against an away form that has yielded just one win in five on the road.

Bottom-placed Start host sixth-placed Brann on Sunday in a match that could define the final shape of the Eliteserien table, with the hosts carrying the worst defensive record in the division and Brann arriving unbeaten in their last three away fixtures.
