H2H advantage goes to the visitors
Odds and context
Víkingur Reykjavík head into Sunday's match with a clear advantage on the head-to-head record, so the visitors are the clear favorite at 1.39, while FH Hafnarfjordur are a huge long shot at 6.42, although the odds suggest we could be in for a goal-filled match.
FH recent form and tactics
FH have won 2 and drawn 3 of their last 5 games, including a 1-1 draw at home to KR Reykjavik and a 0-1 away win against KA Akureyri, but they have struggled in Besta deild karla 2026 at their home turf Kaplakrikavoellur this season, winning just 1, drawing 5 and losing 3 of their 9 games.
Joey Gudjonsson has been in charge of FH since January 2026 and his men are a compact side that aim to absorb pressure and hit back with quick breaks, set pieces and the odd goal on the counter. They will look to turn this into a high-press versus low-block contest with Víkingur trying to crowd them deep in their half and FH looking to catch the leaders on the turn.
Víkingur can take the win and the goals
Sölvi Ottesen has had a similar length of time at the helm of Víkingur, coming in during January 2025, and his side like to press high, overload the half-spaces and play at a fast pace, so this could be a clash of styles.
Víkingur have also been in patchy form for a league leader, winning just 1, drawing 2 and losing 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. They followed up a 2-2 draw away to IA Akranes in Besta deild karla 2026 with a 3-0 defeat away to Swiss side FC Thun in Europa League qualifying before grinding out a 2-2 home draw against IBV Vestmannaeyjar in Besta deild karla 2026.
Víkingur have a much better record on their travels in Besta deild karla 2026, however, winning 7, drawing 1 and only losing 1 of their 9 trips. They are scoring 3.00 goals per match on average away from home and conceding just 0.89, which is a title-winning spread.
Expect some goals at Kaplakrikavoellur
Our main selection for this game is Víkingur to win, but it is likely that the hosts can nick a goal at some point in the match.
The odds on goals are also appealing, with Over 2.5 at 1.33 and Both Teams To Score at 1.52, both of which suggest this could be a lively match at Kaplakrikavoellur.
- Víkingur have Elias Mar Omarsson, who has notched 12 goals in 13 appearances in Besta deild karla 2026, giving them a box office finisher.
- FH have a useful player in Gils Gislason, who has scored 4 times in 14 appearances in Besta deild karla 2026 and 2 of FH's 3 goals in their last 5 outings.
- Nikolaj Hansen has also been in good form in front of goal of late, notching 2 of Víkingur's 4 goals in their last 5 outings, and he adds another ruthless edge to the away side's attack.
