Vikingur Gota can maintain their momentum
07 Vestur's slump
A poor run of four defeats and a draw has seen 07 Vestur Sorvagur slip to the bottom of the Faroese Premier League 2026 after 12 games, with Michael Schjoenberg, who took charge in May 2025, yet to show any signs of turning their form around.
The 07ers lost back-to-back away games to B36 Torshavn and Skala in their latest two fixtures, and, with just seven points from as many games, they look unlikely to have enough to avoid relegation.
Víkingur's rise and style
Víkingur Gota, meanwhile, have climbed to fourth place in the 2026 Premier League with 18 points after 12 matches. The Gotu have won their last two, against AB Argir and Skala, and are unbeaten in their last five, winning twice and drawing thrice.
Johan Poulsen took over as Víkingur's head coach in September 2020 and has created a team with a clear attacking mindset, dominating possession and stretching the field wide, where they can overpower opponents with their pace. The Gotu also press high up the field in order to force turnovers in the opposing half.
Back the visitors to continue good run
07 Vestur have a very different approach, which is perhaps more suitable for a team with relegation troubles. Their compact 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 shape, in which they sit deep and attempt to counter with pace or cause problems from set pieces, have left them in big trouble.
They have managed only three goals in five home games and average just 0.60 goals per game in the Premier League 2026.
Víkingur's proactive, high-tempo approach should test the discipline of 07 Vestur, who have little to no experience of playing on the front foot.
The visitors have a solid away record this term – one win, three draws and two defeats – conceding just five goals in six matches and they are expected to add another three points to their tally on Saturday.
- Aron Benjaminsen has been the driving force behind Víkingur's success in recent seasons, providing both goals and assists, and he is again the orchestrator of the team this term, contributing three goals and three assists in the league.
- Jakup Johansen has chipped in with two goals in his last five appearances, and offers another outlet for the away team.
- 07 Vestur's top-scorer is Jasper van der Heyden, with three goals in 11 Premier League 2026 appearances, meaning the home side have to be at their best to create chances.
