Stjarnan
- Stjarnan are the form favourites for Sunday's game (W4, D0, L1) and have the top scorer in Besta deild karla 2026 in their squad, while ÍBV are the opposite (D1, L4).
- Garðbæingar have won four of their last five matches and recorded a 4-2 victory at home to Thor Akureyri in their last matchup, after a 2-0 away win at Breidablik.
- Jon Thor Hauksson has been in charge since 13 June 2026 and has made the team much more effective in a high-tempo pressing game, while his talisman in this Besta deild karla campaign is Emil Atlason, Stjarnan's top scorer, with 10 goals from 15 matches.
ÍBV
- IBV Vestmannaeyjar have been in terrible form and are on a three-game losing run after suffering a 1-3 home defeat to IA Akranes, a 0-1 away loss to Keflavik and a 0-1 home loss to Thor Akureyri.
- Aleksandar Linta has been in charge of Eyjamenn since 17 January 2026 and has built this team around the ability to sit deep and win physical duels.
Head-to-Head
- Stjarnan have their home record (W4, D1, L5), but ÍBV have won the last two head-to-head meetings in Besta deild karla 2026.
- Stjarnan have scored 3.0 goals per game in their last 5 home H2H meetings, which suggests this should be an open match if they get into their rhythm early on.
