| 0' | The 9:00 PM kickoff energizes Brann Stadion as Bergen hosts this UEFA Conference League opener. Manager Eirik Horneland opts for an attacking 4-3-3 formation for the Norwegians, relying on offensive players like Kristall Mani Ingason and Niklas Castro to create early chances. Meanwhile, Juan Manuel Pavon Dominguez arranges his Lincoln Red Imps in a defensive 4-1-3-2 shape to soak up pressure and counterattack. Both teams approach this stage with no prior record and no history of meetings between them. Brann take the field following their exciting qualification win over PAOK Thessaloniki, but the visitors arrive with equal confidence after a 3-0 away win against Larne FC. |

The Norwegian side are handling their numerical disadvantage well, dictating the attacking pace with seven corners and frequently targeting Saevar Atli Magnusson in the final third.
