Vikingur Reykjavik (home)
- Vikingur Reykjavik are undefeated in 5 home games across all competitions (W4, D1).
- Vikingur Reykjavik have had a mixed bag of results in their last 5 games (W1, D2, L2), but the results have been a little misleading as they have remained a stubborn opponent in their own backyard.
-
The home team's most recent 3 games reads as follows:
- a 3-0 away loss to FC Thun in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026.
- a 2-2 home draw with IBV Vestmannaeyjar in Besta deild karla 2026.
- a 3-2 home win over FC Thun in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026.
- Soelvi Ottesen has done well since taking charge on the 20th January 2025, as his rigid structure has given the home side a fighting chance in big games.
FK Borac Banjaluka (away)
- FK Borac Banjaluka have had an impressive 5-game unbeaten streak in their most recent 5 matches (W4, D1) and arrive in Reykjavik in good nick.
- FK Borac Banjaluka have 2 draws and 1 loss in 3 away games across all competitions.
-
Their most recent 3 results are as follows:
- a 1-0 home win over Maxline Vitebsk in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.

- Vinko Marinovic has been in charge of Borac since the 21st July 2025 and he has done a fantastic job of getting his men to remain a tough opponent every time they take to the pitch.
Head-to-Head
Vikingur Reykjavik won the last H2H 2-0 at home in UEFA Europa Conference League 2024/2025.
Key Players
- Soelvi Ottesen's men have scored 13 times in their last 5 home games in all competitions and they are certainly the sharper side in the final third.
- Ante Roguljic is Borac's top scorer in this season's UEFA Conference League Qualification with 2 goals in 4 games.
- The visitors have conceded an average of 2.33 goals per game on the road in all competitions.
Prediction
- The momentum of both sides is quite a contrast here, but we're expecting Borac to keep things tight in the hope they can nick a goal or two and make life difficult for Vikingur.
- However, we're going to go with the host's recent home record, their edge in the H2H record and the fact that they are in better shape at their own ground than in away matches.
