Brann - Lincoln Red Imps FC

Thursday 15 October 2026 at Brann Stadion, Brann and Lincoln Red Imps FC meet for their opening matchday 1 fixture in the Conference League. The hosts enter this European clash looking to regain their composure following a recent domestic defeat to Viking. Brann successfully navigated their qualifying path with a hard-fought aggregate victory over PAOK Thessaloniki FC, proving their resilience on the continental stage. They will aim to utilise home advantage to establish early momentum in the group phase.

Lincoln Red Imps FC arrive in confident spirits after a solid victory against Europa FC in their domestic league. Their road to this stage was defined by a dramatic turnaround against Larne, where they overcame a first-leg deficit to progress. While Brann have faced a mixed run of results in recent weeks, the visitors have shown consistency in their domestic competition. Both sides will be eager to secure a positive start in this opening encounter.
