- Home form: Keflavik have won one, drawn two and lost one of their four home league games, conceding just four goals in total.
- Recent run: FH Hafnarfjordur have lost four and drawn one of their last five Besta deild karla games.
- Away form: The visitors have also taken two points from 18 available on the road, losing four and drawing two of their six away league games this season.
Sides set for different directions
Keflavik come into Sunday's game placed seventh in the Besta deild karla 2026 table with 11 points from nine matches and the visitors lie at the bottom with two.
This fixture is a good test of how each of these clubs will go this season with the hosts only promoted last year and the away side in the Icelandic top flight for years. It could be a high-scoring affair with both teams in the market to win the game and there should be an end-to-end nature to the play.
Keflavik have been in inconsistent form, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five league matches. They drew 1-1 at home to Stjarnan, beat Thor Akureyri 1-0 and were thrashed 6-1 away to IBV Vestmannaeyjar.
Hosts should have the edge
Recent form
FH have been in torrid form, losing four and drawing one of their last five with a 1-2 defeat at home to KA Akureyri followed by a 5-0 away defeat at Vikingur Reykjavik and 0-1 home loss to IA Akranes last time out.
Players to watch
- They have a few players who can score with Tomas Orri Robertsson netting four in three league appearances so far.
- But Gils Gislason has been their most reliable source of goals, with two of the team's four goals coming in the last five games.
- Stefan Ljubicic is Keflavik's talisman with four league goals in one appearance and will be a big threat to the away defence.
Hafnarfjordur are too leaky to keep a shutout
Haraldur Gudmundsson's side are solid and disciplined in their 4-2-3-1 system, which is based around being compact and hard to break down with measured transitions.
Joey Gudjonsson's side are more tactically flexible and will control the ball more in the midfield areas where they will look to create the openings in wide areas. But FH are too easy to break through at the back for them to keep a clean sheet in this one.
Keflavik are at 1.73 to win the match and we are taking them to secure all three points in what should be a lively game with goals at both ends coming. Over 2.5 goals is 1.31 and Both Teams to Score – Yes is at 1.36.
