Víkingur Reykjavík recorded a 2-0 win over Hafnarfjordur in their last game. Aron Elis Thrandarson scored the first goal of the game in the 45+1st minute of the game before Helgi Gudjonsson added the second in the 85th minute. Nikolaj Hansen saw two yellow cards in the game and was sent off in the 76th minute. He will miss this game with the suspension. Víkingur Reykjavík controlled the game with 61% possession of the ball. They also defeated Grindavik 4-1 in the Iceland Cup played in midweek. With the win, they have only lost one game in their last 20 games. They sit first on the table with 15 points in 6 games, scoring 14 goals and conceding 6.

Both teams have met just once in their history. The match was the semi-final of the Iceland Cup in 2021 where Víkingur Reykjavík won 3-0.

Víkingur Reykjavík will have an easy run in this game, and I expect an easy win for them. Víkingur Reykjavík have been superb and getting a first half win shouldn’t be a problem here.
