Stjarnan

vs

Vikingur Reykjavik

Preview

Stjarnan

• Stjarnan and Vikingur Reykjavik meet on Tuesday with the visiting Vikings determined to keep their championship defense on track and the hosts seeking to unsettle the apple cart by moving up the table.
• Stjarnan are much more of a front-foot, possession-based unit that will push their full-backs forward and leave themselves open to counterattacks when they lose the ball, so the conditions should be ideal for an end-to-end contest and plenty of chances at each end.
• Elisabetarson’s side have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five Besta deild games, a disappointing sequence that has seen them fall back down the table after a decent start.

Vikingur Reykjavik

• Vikingur Reykjavik are the runaway leaders in Besta deild karla 2026 with 22 points from eight games, while Stjarnan are 9th with seven points.
• The champions have won their last five league games with ease and the three away wins they have recorded have seen them concede only once on the road.

Key Players

• Benedikt Waren has chipped in with two of Stjarnan's six goals over the last five games, but Andri Runar Bjarnason has been their top marksman with five in two games to date.
• Vikingur have a player with deadly finishing capabilities of their own in Elias Mar Omarsson, who has already bagged nine in two league appearances.

Betting Insights

• Vikingur look undervalued in the odds for this game at 1.53 for the away win, which seems like a low risk bet given they are top of the league and their visitors sit 9th with 7 points from 8 games.
• Stjarnan have not won their last two home games against Vikingur and the champions are more likely to extend their five-match winning streak on Tuesday.
