Víkingar have momentum in home market
Vikingur Reykjavik have momentum and they will like their chances of maintaining their head-to-head dominance over FK Borac when the pair face off at Vikingsvoellur this Thursday.
Soelvi Ottesen has been in charge of Vikingur Reykjavik since 20 January 2025 and his compact, narrow system, which is built on the ability to trigger the opposition into pressing, has allowed Víkingar to be competitive in big games this year.
Vikingur Reykjavik's home record of 13 goals scored in their last 5 matches across all competitions is pretty strong and they have racked up 13 goals, so they're hurting opponents on their own turf.
Their recent results, a 3-0 away loss to FC Thun, a 2-2 home draw with IBV Vestmannaeyjar, and a 3-2 home win over FC Thun, have left them a little streaky, but a home win is definitely the way to go here.
Borac can be a threat on their day
Borac come into this game in decent nick with 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat from their last 10 across all competitions, but their away record of 2 draws and 1 loss on the road suggests they'll need to nick it.
Vinko Marinovic has been the head coach of Borac since 21 July 2025 and his pragmatic 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 system is built on discipline, shape and quick vertical counters.
They won't dominate possession, but they will keep it tight and Ante Roguljic is their sharpest edge in the final third with 2 goals in 4 games in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
This will be a bit of a chess match, but Vikingur are the sharper side, they have home momentum and they'll like their odds here.
Vikingur come into this, and their momentum should carry them to victory. Take Víkingar at 2.2, which reflects the strength of their home record and the edge they hold in the head-to-head.
