Stjarnan
- Stjarnan have been known for their disciplined 4-3-3 shape and possession-based style ever since Joekull Elisabetarson was appointed as manager in May 2023.
- Stjarnan come into this one 2nd in the Besta deild karla 2026 after picking up 3 points from a possible 3, with a 6-1 demolition of HK Kopavogur and a 3-2 win away at KA Akureyri the highlights of their season so far.
- Emil Atlason has been a nightmare for defences lately, netting 2 of his side’s last 3 goals with his pace and power.
- But they are a complete team with their midfield providing a consistent supply of chances for their forwards, leaving the opposition chasing shadows.
FH Hafnarfjordur
- A very different style awaits Stjarnan on Friday, as Joey Gudjonsson has implemented an aggressive and direct style upon his appointment in January 2026.
- The visitors come into this clash 7th in the table with 1 point from a possible 3, which isn’t great but they did pick up a draw away at IBV Vestmannaeyjar (1-1) and a 4-2 victory at Thor Akureyri in the cup last time out.
- They should pose a threat to Stjarnan and the contrasting styles should make for a fast-paced and exciting matchup.
Head-to-Head
- FH Hafnarfjordur are winless in their last 3 visits to Stjarnan in all competitions.
- The last two H2H games have ended in ties, with the most recent meeting in Besta deild karla 2025 finishing 0-0 at Stjarnan.
