Back the hosts to edge an exciting affair
Form overview
IBV Vestmannaeyjar could be a tough bet to land in the Kopavogur area on Monday as Breidablik Kopavogur are an in-form side at the moment. The home side come into this one on the back of a 2-1 home win over Keflavik and a 0-0 away draw with champions FH Hafnarfjordur, and their home record in Besta deild karla 2026 this season is also good (W5, D1, L1).
Visitors' form and head-to-head
IBV have won two, drew two and lost one of their last five matches, but their two most recent outings have been a 5-2 away loss to KR Reykjavik and a 2-2 home draw with KA Akureyri. They have also won none of their two away matches against Breidablik this season and look set to fall short once more.
Expect Breidablik to dominate possession
A quick glance at the goals tallies of these two sides this term tells the story of what to expect in this match. Breidablik score a lot of goals and IBV concede plenty of them. IBV have conceded 18 goals in 7 away games this term and that is a big red flag for the visitors coming up against a sharp home side.
Ólafur Ingi Skúlason sets his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with plenty of mobile runners and overloads to make his players more than a match for any team in Iceland. Aleksandar Linta is equally flexible with IBV, who can shift into a more pragmatic mid-block.
Kristinsson is a goal scorer
Kristofer Ingi Kristinsson is Breidablik's goal scorer with nine goals in 2 Besta deild karla 2026 appearances. The team plays in a way that creates chances for him.
Breidablik are definitely the side most likely to win, but IBV have a real chance of making this closer than the market predicts if they can play with the ball in the attacking third. We're backing over 2.5 goals at 1.28 and Both Teams To Score Yes at 1.35, but there is definitely a chance that IBV's transition play can trouble the home team, who have let in 12 goals in seven home games this campaign.
- Robert Elis Hlynsson has been the sharp shooter for IBV with four goals in four Besta deild karla 2026 games, with Omar Sowe scoring two of their six goals across the last five games.
- The odds of 1.7 for Breidablik to win look generous, while IBV are 3.96 and the tie 4.3.
