Prediction Brann vs Rangers 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Europa League on 23/10/2025

Match context and recent momentum

There is a tangible buzz around Brann as they prepare to welcome Rangers to Brann Stadion in Bergen on October 23, 2025. The Norwegian side have been in eye-catching form domestically and in Europe, carrying seven wins, one draw and two defeats across their most recent ten outings. Their latest outing was an authoritative 4-1 victory over Haugesund, with Bård Finne turning in the kind of performance that has become a recent hallmark for Brann. In the Europa League table they sit with three points from two matches — a mixed but promising start that underlines their ability to grind out results both home and away.

Rangers arrive under far more pressure. The Scottish outfit have two points on the board from the Premiership stretch of recent fixtures, but their continental campaign has been less forgiving: two matches, two losses, and a solitary goal scored versus three conceded. Recent domestic form has been patchy, highlighted by a 2-2 draw with Dundee United where captain James Tavernier produced a noteworthy display. Overall, Rangers’ last ten shows two wins, four draws and four defeats — signs of a side struggling for consistency as they attempt to arrest a rocky European beginning.

Tactical picture from the numbers

Numbers paint Brann as the more threatening collective over recent weeks. They average a higher volume of total shots and dangerous attacks, with 63 total shots and 58.17 dangerous attacks in the sample, supported by 33 shots on target. Brann’s defensive numbers are also respectable — three clean sheets in the period provided — suggesting a team that can both create and keep opposition at arm’s length.

Rangers, by contrast, have produced fewer total shots (27) but maintain a respectable corners average (5.5) and an average of 13.5 shots. Their attacking threat exists but has not translated into results in Europe; they travel with zero clean sheets in the recent sample and have conceded multiple goals in continental fixtures. Both teams show a 50% rate for goals over 2.5 in their recent data, and BTTS sits squarely in the middle as well, so goals are possible but not guaranteed.

Verdict and betting suggestion

This feels like Brann’s tie to take. Home form, a confident goal tally in recent domestic matches, a healthy number of dangerous attacks and the backing of their fans at Brann Stadion make them the side most likely to claim all three points. Rangers’ European form is underwhelming and their defence has shown vulnerabilities that Brann are well-placed to exploit.

Betting suggestion: 1X2 – Back Brann to win at odds of 2.18 (Home).
