Austria Vienna and Brann meet again in the UEFA Women’s Champions League 2026/27 Qualification Round 3, just days after Brann won the first leg 2-1 in Vienna. That result puts the Austrian side in a difficult position heading into this second meeting at the Franz Horr Stadium. Austria Vienna need a result to stay alive in the tie, but they face a Norwegian side that has not lost in their last five matches and enters this game with serious momentum.
Two players deserve attention here. Elisa Pfattner has been Austria Vienna’s most productive attacker in recent matches, scoring three goals across her last three appearances, making her the focal point of any Austrian attacking threat. For Brann, Diljá Ýr Zomers stands out with four goals in four matches, demonstrating a remarkable consistency in front of goal that Austria Vienna’s defense will need to account for from the first whistle.
A hot stat worth noting: Brann have fired 45 total shots across their last five matches compared to Austria Vienna’s 16. That shot volume gap is significant and reflects just how dominant Brann have been in their recent outings.

Austria Vienna (w) vs Brann (w) prediction
Brann are the stronger side in this tie on every measurable basis. They won the first leg, they carry a 100% win rate over the last 30 days across five matches, and their squad depth and shot output comfortably exceed what Austria Vienna have shown. Austria Vienna must attack to overturn the deficit, which opens space for Brann to exploit on the counter.
We predict a Brann win here. The first-leg result gives them a psychological edge, and their ability to score in volume — 18 goals across their last five matches — makes it difficult to see Austria Vienna keeping a clean sheet. Austria Vienna’s attack is not without teeth, but their defense has already been breached once by this Brann side.
Austria Vienna have picked up six yellow cards across their last five matches while Brann have accumulated eight, suggesting both teams carry some edge in their play. Brann’s corner count of 27 over five games compared to Austria Vienna’s six tells a clear story about territorial control and attacking pressure. Austria Vienna will need to disrupt Brann’s rhythm early, but sustained pressure from the Norwegian side looks likely to produce goals.

Team Analysis
Austria Vienna have shown flashes of quality in recent weeks. They put six past Red Bull Salzburg (W) and five past Farul Constanta (w), but those victories came against sides ranked significantly lower. Their last five matches show five wins and two losses, with the defeats coming against more competitive opposition. The 1-2 loss to Brann in the first leg was their most recent result, and it confirmed that when facing a high-quality side, their defensive vulnerabilities are exposed.
Brann have been in exceptional form. Five wins from five in the last 30 days, with scores of 5-1 against Roa, 3-0 against Honefoss, 3-2 against PAOK, and 5-0 against Mitrovica preceding their first-leg win over Austria Vienna. Their season record of 21 wins from 28 matches reinforces that this is a well-organized and prolific side. The 2-1 win in the first leg was controlled rather than frantic, and Brann have the quality to manage this second encounter from a position of strength.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Brann (w) the favourite
- Moneyline Austria Vienna (w) 3.40 | Brann (w) 1.83
- Draw 3.85
The odds reflect a clear market preference for Brann, and we agree with that assessment. At 1.83, Brann offer reasonable value given their first-leg lead and their dominant recent form. Austria Vienna at 3.40 requires the hosts to produce a significant turnaround, which their recent performances against top-tier sides have not suggested they are capable of. The draw at 3.85 is interesting as a secondary option, but Brann’s attacking output makes a goalless stalemate unlikely.
Possible Starting Lineups
Austria Vienna (w) possible starting eleven
- GK: Jasmin Pal
- DF: Carina Wenninger, Virginia Kirchberger, Katharina Schiechtl, Tatjana Weiss
- MF: Lotta Cordes, Chiara Pucci, Almedina Sisic
- FW: Elisa Pfattner, Modesta Uka, Yvonne Weilharter
Austria Vienna are likely to set up in their familiar 4-3-3 shape. Jasmin Pal starts in goal having featured in all three of the last tracked appearances. The backline is anchored by Carina Wenninger and Virginia Kirchberger, both experienced presences. Tatjana Weiss has been booked three times recently, so she carries a suspension risk and will need to manage her aggression. Up front, Elisa Pfattner is the player to watch — three goals in three matches make her the most dangerous Austrian attacker on the pitch, and she will need to deliver if the hosts are to overturn the deficit.
Brann (w) possible starting eleven
- GK: Sunniva Skoglund
- DF: Joanna Tynnilä, Cecilie Kvamme, Josefine Birkelund, Nea Lehtola
- MF: Amalie Eikeland, Emma Peuhkurinen, Karoline Haugland
- FW: Lauren Davidson, Diljá Ýr Zomers, Brenna Lovera
Brann set up in a 4-3-3 as well, and their personnel across all lines is settled. Sunniva Skoglund has logged 360 minutes in goal across four matches. Nea Lehtola is an unusual presence in defense — she has scored three goals from that position, giving Brann an additional attacking dimension from set pieces and overlapping runs. Lauren Davidson leads the assist chart with three assists alongside two goals, making her one of the most impactful players in the tie. Diljá Ýr Zomers, with four goals in four matches, is the outright attacking threat and the player Austria Vienna’s defense must track most closely. Emma Peuhkurinen’s three yellow cards in four matches suggest she plays on the edge, which adds a physical dimension to Brann’s midfield presence.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Brann are the better side in this tie and they proved it in the first leg. Their shot volume, goal output, and corner dominance all point in one direction. Austria Vienna must chase the game from the start, which suits Brann’s counter-attacking quality and the speed of players like Davidson and Zomers.
We predict a Brann win, with both teams scoring. Austria Vienna have enough attacking quality — particularly through Pfattner — to find the net at least once, but Brann’s firepower should be enough to seal the tie. Brann scoring in both halves is our standout tip, backed by their consistent goal output and Austria Vienna’s need to push forward and leave gaps at the back.
