KR Reykjavik vs Stjarnan Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

The race for the Urvalsdeild title is already hotting up but the side with the early advantage face a difficult trip to the capital as KR Reykjavik welcome league leaders Stjarnan to KR-völlur on Sunday. The visitors have been in pretty excellent shape this season and it is hard to see anything other than another three points being added to their tally, so it is here where we shall be placing our money.

If the tip is going to go the way which we expect, then it is going to have to overcome a head to head record which favours the hosts fairly significantly. KR have won almost half of the previous meetings and also managed to claim victory the last time these sides came together. However, there are plenty of signs the power has started to shift as Stjarnan won the three meetings prior to that and have scored eight times in the previous four meetings.

KR Reykjavik have not particularly enjoyed life on home soil so far this term and they have won only one of their five outings in front of their own fans. Although they don’t have a particularly poor offensive or defensive record, most of their good performances have come when on their travels this season which is shown perfectly by the fact that 65% of the points they have earned this season have come when playing away from home.

All of this will be music to the ears of a Stjarnan side who have held no fear throughout the campaign and frequently come out on top, whatever the challenge. They are the highest scorers in the division with 29 goals to their name and they are the most in form sides in the Urvalsdeild with 22 points coming from their previous eight outings.
