REF’s picks

Lillestrøm head into this clash with home advantage and a clearer recent focus despite their European heavy defeat, making them a solid choice to edge Brann. Brann's lengthy injury list and suspension concerns severely weaken their depth for this tricky away trip. However, Lillestrøm's own defensive frailties shown recently mean this could still be a tight contest.

1. 1Lillestrøm won the reverse fixture earlier this season and boast strong home motivations.
2. 2Brann are missing several key players including Sørensen and Tronstad due to suspensions and injuries.
3. 3Lillestrøm's heavy midweek European defeat against Real Sociedad could linger as a fatigue factor.
