Vikingur to dominate once again
Vikingur Reykjavik will travel to take on FH Hafnarfjordur at Kaplakrikavoellur this Sunday afternoon. In this FH Hafnarfjordur vs Vikingur Reykjavik preview, the visitors are the clear favourites at 1.39, while FH are at 6.42 for the home win, so the market has already been swayed one way.
A comparison of the two sides in home and away Besta deild karla 2026 performances tells us why the visitors are so clear favorites here. Vikingur have won 7, drawn 1, and lost just 1 of their 9 away league games in 2026. They have averaged a ridiculous 3.00 goals scored per away game and a mere 0.89 goals conceded per away match. That's a title-winning stat line and it's easy to see how Sölvi Ottesen's side have racked up 45 points from 18 games, compared to FH's 17 from 18.
Vikingur's form has been a little up and down of late for a team that sits top of the table and that should perhaps be more secure. They've won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 in all competitions, with a 2-2 away draw to IA Akranes and a 3-0 defeat to FC Thun in Europa League qualifying sandwiching a 2-2 home draw with IBV Vestmannaeyjar in Besta deild karla 2026.
Hafnarfjordur looking to bridge the gap
FH are in decent form, winning 2 and drawing 3 of their last 5 games and that includes a 1-1 draw at home to KR Reykjavik and a 0-1 win at KA Akureyri, although their home record in the league this term has been modest to say the least, with 1 win, 5 draws and 3 defeats from 9 home games.
Vikingur have dominated this matchup in recent years and are in mixed form, so it's difficult to see the hosts winning the game even if they do make a match of it. The styles of these two teams are completely opposed, with Vikingur pressing high, overloading the half-spaces and playing at a sharp pace, whilst FH have been built to soak up pressure and counterattack using their directness.
FH have the pace to cause an upset
Gils Gislason is the main man for the hosts with 4 Besta deild karla 2026 goals in 14 appearances, whilst he also has 2 of FH's 3 goals from their last 5 matches. In contrast, Vikingur have Elias Mar Omarsson up front with 12 goals in 13 Besta deild karla 2026 appearances. Given the head-to-head trend, the form of the respective sides and the fact that FH are yet to beat Vikingur on their own patch, the best bet here looks to be the road side in the outright market. For those seeking FH Hafnarfjordur vs Vikingur Reykjavik betting tips, the away win is the standout choice. However, FH do have a pace to them and could hurt Vikingur with their directness and set pieces, so the Over 2.5 goals & Both teams to score options look very tempting at 1.33 and 1.52 respectively. This FH Hafnarfjordur vs Vikingur Reykjavik prediction suggests the visitors should control the game. A comfortable win for the league leaders looks the most likely outcome.
