- Stjarnan have a 3-1 first-leg advantage.
- Víkingur Gota are unbeaten in 4 home games across all competitions (W1, D3).
- Stjarnan have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 away games across all competitions.
No guarantee for Stjarnan in Faroes
Víkingur Gota will be looking to give a good account of themselves in Thursday's UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 match with Stjarnan in the Faroe Islands, but the visitors will be confident
of finishing the job after taking a 3-1 lead in the home first-leg.
Gota boss Johan Poulsen has his side well organised in a 4-2-3-1 structure with a hard-to-budge, structure-first approach
to the game, which has seen them unbeaten
unbeaten in 4 at home across
all competitions (W1, D3).

Stjarnan still capable of slipping up
Stjarnan boss Joekull Elisabetarson seems to have turned his side onto a more positive, wide-based approach, although they do appear to be prone to conceding in transition. They will be up for this clash with regional bragging rights, and arrived off the back of a 2-2 draw at FH Hafnarfjordur in the Besta deild karla 2026.
Emil Atlason is Stjarnan's main man up front with three UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 goals in one game, but he has also been their focal point domestically, having scored seven of their 13 in the last five. So, with Atlason to bait the hosts into mistakes and Benjaminsen to punish Stjarnan in behind, we think this game will have some goal action in it.
Stjarnan are the more likely to win this second-leg encounter, given their first-leg win and better goal power, but Víkingur Gota are resolute at home and have made themselves hard to crack in Europe. A tense game looks more likely than a stroll in the park, so we're taking Over 2.5 goals at 11/25 and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 49/100 for the better value.
