NSI can confirm their dominance
NSI Runavík come into Sunday's match on the back of a mixed five-game run with two wins and three defeats, while their latest outing was a 4-0 home win over Skala IF that should set them up for another success. EB Streymur, meanwhile, are in poor form with two defeats, two draws and just one win in their last five matches in all competitions. The 1-2 home loss to high-flying Víkingur was followed by a 3-2 defeat at 07 Vestur on Wednesday.
Sigurdur Ragnar Eyjolfsson has made NSI a force to be reckoned with since taking charge on 1 January 2026, molding a team to play a high-tempo, high-pressing style of soccer that is a hybrid of 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 systems, in which the full-backs push high and the entire side hunts turnovers for the clinical Michal Przybylski. Sigfridur Clementsen's EB employ a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 system that is far more compact and designed to absorb pressure and counterattack, which should suit them against NSI if they can survive the initial pressure.
Hosts can dominate in home comforts
Away form and defence
EB have won three, drawn one and lost four of their eight away fixtures in the Premier League 2026, which has left them vulnerable to NSI's front-foot pressure. The visitors have already conceded 14 goals in those eight away games, so we cannot see them being much of a threat at the other end against a team of NSI's attacking quality.
Head-to-head, odds and key players
The hosts have won the last three head-to-head meetings, which includes a 1-0 away victory over EB from two months ago, so they also have the psychological edge.
- The odds on the home team are heavy – NSI are 1.21 with the tie at 6.0 – so a safer alternative is NSI to win and over 1.5 goals, which fits their home firepower and attacking rhythm.
- Marius Kryger Lindh has added some bite for NSI and has already scored two of their six goals in the last five in all competitions, while Michal Przybylski tops the Premier League 2026 goalscoring charts with seven to his name in 17 appearances.
- EB's leading goal scorer is Bui Egilsson with four goals in 16 appearances, but he is not getting enough service from his teammates.
