KR Reykjavik
- KR Reykjavik are unbeaten at home this season in all competitions (Won 2, tied 2).
- KR-ingar average 3.50 goals per home game after scoring 14 times in 4 matches.
- KR Reykjavik have played some of their best soccer of the campaign in recent weeks and they'll be gunning for the victory when they host Vikingur Reykjavik in another Reykjavík derby on Saturday.
- Oskar Thorvaldsson has done a good job since taking the reigns in August 2024, keeping the KR-ingar compact and competitive and allowing them to catch opponents on the break with their wing-backs.
- They've won 2, tied 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 and they came into the international break following a 5-3 away win against KA Akureyri, a 1-1 home tie and a 3-1 away loss.
Vikingur Reykjavik
- The visitors are on a 2-game draw streak after taking one point at KR.
- Víkingar are a different proposition, however, they're a team with an identity, and that's all down to Soelvi Ottesen's structure-first approach which has served them well since he took over in January 2025.
Head-to-Head
Víkingar have the advantage in the head-to-head with four wins and a tie from the last 5 games , but KR have not beaten Vikingur in the last 2 meetings at KR-voellur , albeit the latest of which finished 1-1 .
Key Players
Armann Ingi Finnbogason has been in fine form for Vikingur Reykjavik with 2 goals in 5 and he'll be a real threat if the service clicks on Saturday, but Ottesen's side have won just one of their last 5 (W1, D2, L2) and taken 1 from their 5 trips this season (W1, D2, L2) .
Betting Insights
- KR have only won 2 of their 4 games at home.
- Víkingar have won just one of their last 5(W1, D2, L2).
- Víkingar have taken 1 from their 5 trips this season(W1, D2, L2).
- KR are 2.99 to win this one and that looks like the bet.
- The derby is still likely to be tense and cagey.
Prediction
KR have a little extra in the game and can nick it in this close encounter .
