Stjarnan

Preview

FH Hafnarfjordur

• FH Hafnarfjordur are 12th in the Besta deild karla 2026 with 6 points from 11 matches, while Stjarnan are 8th with 11 points from 12.
• FH have won none of their 4 home games in the Besta deild karla 2026, drawing 1 and losing 3.
• FH have undergone a winter overhaul by Joey Gudjonsson that has seen the team take on a much higher tempo, more vertical approach and a pragmatic, transition-first style.
• Tomas Orri Robertsson has been the spark plug, with the 21-year-old scoring 4 goals in 3 Besta deild karla 2026 appearances to give them a real edge in the counter.
• However, they have won 1, drew 1 and lost 3 of their last 5, a run that includes a 1-2 away win at Keflavik and a 1-1 home draw with Thor Akureyri.

Stjarnan

• Stjarnan are a patient build side in the hands of Joekull Elisabetarson, who had built a solid side around a compact 4-1-4-1 system and a controlled tempo.
• The recent coaching change has left their structure in flux as they have won 1, tied 1 and lost 3 of their last 5, a sequence that includes a cup defeat, a crazy 4-4 league tie with Breidablik and a 2-1 defeat away at IBV.

Head-to-Head

Betting Insights

• Stjarnan are the betting favorites at 2.3 compared to 2.5 for FH, but the difference in price and the form of the two teams suggests a tight, cagey game more than a stroll in the park.
• FH's home record of 1 draw and 3 defeats makes them vulnerable on home soil.
• Over 2.5 goals at 1.34 and Both Teams To Score at 1.29 are the selections, as FH score an average of 1.25 goals per home game and concede 2.00, while Stjarnan have scored 10 in 5 away.
