Overall, Braum sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Olaf. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

Similarly, when Braum is played with Olaf on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Olaf.
Additionally, when Braum plays with Olaf on the same team, he typically receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage could indicate that Olaf does a decent job of protecting Braum during teamfights.

Playing alongside, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to soak up damage. Together, these two might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
Although, by aligning Braum and Olaf together, you probably will not be giving your other allies very much magic damage. Plan to include other champs on your team that offsets this hole in their playstyle.
Regardless of the skill of your Olaf ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
