Víkingur Reykjavík vs UMF Stjarnan Prediction: Víkingur Reykjavík expected to scrape through

Víkingur Reykjavík and Stjarnan will settle scores on Wednesday in the second semi-final clash of the Iceland Cup. The winner of this clash will face the winner between KA Akureyri and Valur in the second semi-final clash. Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

Víkingur Reykjavík recorded a 3-1 win over Fylkir in the quarterfinals. Danijel Djuric got a brace, and Valdimar Ingimundarson scored the game's third goal. They had just 37% possession of the ball but still managed to limit Fylkir to just one shot on target. Their performance have been superb recently, with 11 unbeaten runs. They remain unbeaten in their last 27 home games. 

Stjarnan made it to this stage after Robert Thorkelsson gave them a 90+2nd winner against Thor Akureyri. However, their recent performance hasn't been commendable, with losses in their last two games. They have also seen just one win in their previous five away games.

Both sides have met 15 times since 2020. Víkingur won 8, Stjarnan won 4, and 3 ended in a draw. The last game between the two sides ended 4-0 in favour of Víkingur. Vikingur have kept a clean sheet in 4 of the previous five games against Stjarnan. 

Both sides met last weekend in a league clash, and Víkingur recorded a 4-0 win. No doubt, the league leaders will win here again. They have dominated their head-to-head and have been superb on their home ground. Moreover, I expect Víkingur to get a clean sheet here to follow their head-to-head trends.
