Víkingur Reykjavík were held to a 1-1 draw by Vestri in their last game. Valdimar Ingimundarson scored just 3 minutes into the game, but they failed to add to the lead before Gunnar Hauksson equalised for Vestri in the 83rd minute.

Elsewhere, Víkingur are also through to the Conference League qualification final after defeating Flora 3-2 on aggregate. They remain unbeaten in their last 6 games in all competitions. They have lost just once at home since 2023. Domestically, they have not lost a home game since 2023. They sit first on the table with 40 points in 18 games, scoring 43 goals and conceding 19.

Akranes recorded a 1-0 win over Fram in their last game. Viktor Jonsson scored the game's only goal in the first minute of the second half. Akranes have experienced four games without a win before getting their last win. However, they are unbeaten in 5 of their last six away games. They sit 4th on the table with 28 points in 18 games, scoring 35 goals and conceding 24.

Both sides have met 35 times in their history. Víkingur won 9, Akranes won 12 and 14 ended in draws. The last game between them ended 1-0 in favour of Vikingur.

Both sides have one of the best defences in the league this season, and their head-to-head clashes have always shown how tough clashes between them are. With this, I don’t expect many actions in the first half, but the second half will show the difference between the two sides.
