Keflavik vs Stjarnan Predictions

Bottom side Keflavik continue their search for their opening victory of the season in the Urvalsdeild. Since gaining promotion to the top flight at the end of last season, things have been tough for them at the highest level. They’ve struggled to keep pace with even the league’s strugglers, and now they are set for yet another difficult fixture on Saturday. Following a defeat to champions Valur, Keflavik are preparing to meet second placed Stjarnan at home this weekend.

The visitors have emerged as the main contenders to steal the title from leaders Valur, after an impressive string of results. After winning their last seven games in all competitions, this is turning in to a promising season for Stjarnan. They’re up to second in the Urvalsdeild, and they have also progressed in to the semi-finals of the cup. They’ve got European football coming up later this month, so overall they’ve got a promising few weeks ahead. If they can maintain that form, then this could be a season to remember.

Stjarnan continued their form with a 3-2 win over FH, which continued their strong record on the road this season. No side has claimed more away points in the Urvalsdeild than Stjarnan, after their unbeaten record on their travels. They also have the best points per game record away from home, and that’s going up against Keflavik, the side who boast the worst home record by far in the division.

Keflavik have lost seven of 10 matches so far, and they’ve been beaten in every home game this term. Valur were their typically understated selves with their victory here last weekend, but expect a little more entertainment from the visitors on Saturday, who do tend to push forward a tad more. They’ve racked up two goals per game on the road, while Keflavik have conceded 2.6 per game at their own ground. Surely the basement side are set for more punishment in this weekend’s clash.

Stjarnan have seen over 2.5 goals in 82% of their matches this season. With three of Keflavik’s last four home matches seeing a defeat and over 2.5 goals, we think that’s the best bet for Saturday’s meeting. We’re going with Stjarnan to win and over 2.5 goals to be scored in the game, while we’re also expecting a 2-1 victory for the away side, who have won by a single goal in four of their last five in the league.
