Stjarnan vs Fylkir Reykjavik Predictions

Stjarnan have a good record against this weekend’s guests Fylkir but the visitors arrive in good form and sitting higher in the table, so we’re expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes between the pair. Stjarnan head into Sunday’s game without a clean sheet in any of their last six matches and their guests have scored at least two goals in each of their last four matches, so we’re backing goals to be scored on Saturday.

Stjarnan were handed a lesson in finishing when they played host to Breidablik in midweek, but the pair went in at the break goalless. Jóhannesson broke the deadlock three minutes into the second half and Stjarnan lead up until the sixty-fifth minute when Breidablik pulled themselves level. The visitors then moved up a gear, scoring twice to wrap up a 3-1 win, despite both teams having the same amount of shots on target during the ninety minutes.

Fylkir’s last match also came against Breidablik, where a week ago the pair played out a seven-goal thriller at the Würth völlurinn. Ingimundarson handed the hosts the lead in the sixth minute but Breidablik equalised shortly before the half-hour mark, and it took a goal from Castillion to restore Fylkir’s lead and ensure the hosts went in at the break in front. Breidablik once again equalised in the second half but Eyþórsson put the home side in front for the third time in the match shortly before the hour mark. Ingimundarson scored his second goal of the game in the sixty-sixth minute to make it 4-2 and despite Breidablik pulling a goal back seven minutes from time, Fylkir held on to secure a 4-3 win.

The recent encounters between these two clubs suggest that Stjarnan are the favourites to win but the form and performances of both clubs over the last month point towards both teams scoring this weekend and a double chance bet on Fylkir being the best bet. Stjarnan have only won one of their last five league games, while Fylkir have only lost one of their last five matches in all competitions. Stjarnan have kept no clean sheets in their last six matches and Fylkir have scored at least two goals in each of their last four matches. The visitors are unbeaten in their last four matches, which is why we’re backing a double chance bet on Fylkir and for the game to end in a 2-2 draw.

Halldórsson top scores for the hosts with five league goals to his name this season, while Danielsson and Ingimundarson joint top score for the visitors with three goals apiece in the Urvalsdeild. We’re confident that a double chance bet on Fylkir will payout this weekend and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Fylkir are the form favourites and head into the game unbeaten in their last four matches, while Stjarnan have only picked up one win in their last five attempts but do have a good recent record against the visitors, which is why we have gone with a double chance bet rather than backing an outright win for Fylkir on Sunday.
