Brann´s squad is primarily composed of Norwegian national team players with additional players from Iceland and Finland. Under the guidance of coach Peter Ho Martin, the team has garnered seven points from four matches, with two wins and one draw. Fans can thus look forward to a very attractive opponent.

"We all enjoyed our first win in the Champions League; we finally showed that we can play tough matches and bring them to a victorious conclusion. Before such a challenging match against Brann, it was important to win and tune in positively. We are aware that there is still a small chance of advancing from the group, and that should drive us to try and bring this match to a victorious end as well. We don´t expect an easy match; the Brann team is disciplined, well-coordinated, and very skilled with the ball. In the game, we can create chances, and it will be necessary to cfonvert them, as they may not come as frequently," says goalkeeper Olivie Lukášová ahead of the match.
