SK Brann and Tijan Jaiteh face a number of tough tests after being drawn in Group D for the Uefa Cup group stages.

Norwegian league leaders will face Dinamo Zagreb, Rennes, FC Basel and Hamburg.

Brann, who are on the verge of claiming the Norwegian title, admitted that it’s a group with some very difficult opponents. 

Dinamo already look impressive and have shown how strong they are, and a hot reception will await  any opponent  in Zagreb while  Basel have been the measure of all Swiss teams and with Rennes any thing can happen in the group.

Brann are the unknown in the group, but they should not be underestimated as they have shown a good example by eliminating Club Brugge on their home soil. 

Meanwhile Hamburg Trainer, Huub Stevens, is looking forward to pitting his wits against some new teams for him.

“As a trainer I have never played these sides before.  We will watch them, collect information and prepare ourselves well” he explained.

He however sees Dinamo Zagreb as perhaps his team’s most dangerous opponent.

“Dinamo is a strong side, who has already knocked-our Ajax.  They also showed against Werder in the Champions League that they will not make life easy for us.”
