AZ Alkmaar vs Brann match preview

Having upset the odds in the previous round, can Brann cause an even bigger shock in the play-offs?

The Norwegian Cup winners hadn’t won a European tie for 15 years before taking on Arouca in the third qualifying round, so travelling to Portugal as massive underdogs.

Nevertheless, following a 2-1 defeat at Estádio Municipal, Felix Horn Myhre, Fredrik Pallesen Knudsen and Bård Finne were all on target in Bergen last Thursday as Brann overturned that deficit, prevailing 4-3 on aggregate.

Brann, who were a second division club less than a year ago, haven’t qualified for a UEFA group stage since 2007, but Eirik Horneland’s team are one tie away from ending that exile.

AZ Alkmaar though are overwhelming favourites to get through, given that they were featuring in the semi-finals of this competition just three months ago, narrowly beaten by West Ham in May.

This season, the Cheeseheads made hard-work of overcoming Santa Coloma in the previous round, leaving Andorra la Vella 1-0 winners before a 2-0 victory at home last Thursday.
