The highly anticipated "Best i Vest" derby takes center stage on July 13, 2025 GMT, as second-placed Brann host league leaders Viking FK at Brann Stadion. This Eliteserien clash promises an enthralling encounter between two of Norway's top teams.

Viking FK arrives in Bergen in formidable form, sitting comfortably atop the standings with 36 points. Their impressive run includes five wins from their last six away league matches, showcasing their dominance on the road. Brann, currently in second with 27 points, has also been in good touch, securing three victories in their recent six Eliteserien outings.

However, historical head-to-head records paint a challenging picture for the home side. Brann has a significant hurdle to overcome, having lost 67% of their last six encounters against Viking FK. This statistic will undoubtedly fuel Brann's desire for redemption and a chance to assert their authority against their rivals.

Given Viking FK's strong away form and historical advantage, they are slight favorites. However, Brann's home advantage and their motivation to reverse past results could lead to an upset. Expect a closely contested battle, with both teams eager to claim bragging rights and crucial points in the title race.

Prediction: Viking FK to win
