KR have the sharp edge and the head-to-head advantage
KR Reykjavik have been in sharp form of late, winning three and drawing one of their last five matches in all competitions, but there are plenty of goals in the games they have played.
Oskar Thorvaldsson's side beat IBV Vestmannaeyjar 5-2 at home on 23 June and then trounced Stjarnan 5-0 in their own backyard on 27 June, after a 3-3 away draw at Thor Akureyri.
KR sit second in the Besta deild karla 2026 with 35 points from 16 games – exactly 22 ahead of 11th-placed FH, who have collected 13 points from as many assignments.
The hosts have been in mixed but resilient form, drawing four of their last five in all competitions and winning the other, but they are likely to come up against a KR side with the sharpness and intensity to cut through their defence on Wednesday.
Contrast in styles should make for an entertaining clash
KR's approach:
Thorvaldsson's men play a high-tempo attacking style, 4-3-3, that looks to press opponents into mistakes and create plenty of chances through vertical, high-intensity attacking.
FH's approach:
In contrast, Joey Gudjonsson's FH have been set up to play a tight, transition-first game in which they attempt to keep things compact in central areas and break out wide when they win the ball.
This has made them stubborn opponents of late, but the hosts will have to match KR's physical energy and high-pressing gameplan if they are to get a result on Wednesday.
Both teams to score is the way to go
KR are a low-odds 1.7 favorites to win this game, which looks very short for a side that have only won three of seven away from home in the Besta deild karla 2026 (W3, D1, L3).
FH are 3.73 to take all three points and the draw is 4.6, which would have been a decent price a few weeks ago, but the visitors are now on a roll and the home side have drawn their last two.
FH have won one, drawn four and lost three of their eight home fixtures in the Besta deild karla 2026, while KR have won three, drawn one and lost three of their seven away trips in the league.
FH have kept KR from winning on their two previous trips to Hafnarfjordur, but the superiority of the visitors in the table and their sharper form suggests this will be tough for Gudjonsson's men.
The fact that FH have been unbeaten in their last four home games in all competitions gives them a fortress feel, however, and we could see a tight match on our hands despite the odds and the contrasting styles.
The market's enthusiasm for goals in this game is understandable given KR have scored 20 times in their last five in all competitions.
The home team have also shipped 11 in eight at this venue in the Besta deild karla 2026, so we're taking Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score – Yes at 1.14 and 1.21 respectively.
- Aron Sigurdarson has scored 16 goals in four Besta deild karla 2026 games for KR and has seven goals in his last four in all competitions, so he looks a strong contender to score any time.
- Gils Gislason is the FH spark plug with four goals in three in the Besta deild karla 2026 and two of FH's five goals in their last five matches.
- He has two goals in FH's last five games, so can match Sigurdarson's firepower in this clash.
