Fram Reykjavik
- Fram have been in better form of late with three wins and two draws in their last five, but their response has been solid and professional.
- The most recent results have been a 0-0 draw at home to FH Hafnarfjördur and a 2-1 win away to IBV Vestmannaeyjar and they have been keeping things tight with Rúnar Kristinsson's side well drilled into their compact back-three system.
KR Reykjavik
- But KR come into the game on the back of two stunning performances in which they scored ten times and conceded two against IBV Vestmannaeyjar and Stjarnan.
- The latter was a 5-0 home thrashing, with KR's front foot game of pressing and vertical play cutting through Stjarnan.
- Aron Sigurdarson has been their hero in Besta deild karla 2026 with 16 goals in 15 games, including seven in his last five.
Head-to-Head
- Reigning champions Fram Reykjavik will face their nearest pursuers in the race for the Besta deild karla 2026 title when KR Reykjavik arrive at Laugardalsvöllur on Monday evening.
- The two sides are separated by two points in third and second with one game in hand for KR, but there is little to choose between these city rivals in terms of recent form or recent head-to-head clashes.
Key Players
- Aron Sigurdarson has been their hero in Besta deild karla 2026 with 16 goals in 15 games, including seven in his last five.
- With the return to action of Atli Jonasson through the middle, they are much more dangerous on the break when the space opens up in front of goal.
Betting Insights

- Both teams to score - Yes is a shade under even money and with each team carrying genuine threat, we've seen enough from both sides to take that bet.
Prediction
- So it's a close and evenly-matched game and we're backing the home side for the win with a 2-1 correct score prediction, although it could easily be a single goal for the visitors.
- But they have struggled for away wins on the road with a record of three wins, one draw and three defeats from seven away trips in the top-flight.
