Hafnarfjordur vs Vikingur Reykjavik Match Preview

Hafnarfjordur is ranked at 9th place with 10 points and comes not in their best run after three draws and two losses over the last five matches. Now they are winless in the last six duels in the league and something needs to change if they want to finish at least in the top six. In the Icelandic Cup they have done much better as they reached the quarter-finals after a 6-1 victory against IR Reykjavik and it would really help if they brought some of that form to the domestic league.

With 16 goals scored so far, they have the second-best attack among the bottom half teams but this is not where they belong. In the last five duels, they scored a total of six goals averaging a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net in four encounters. Vilhjalmsson has been their best player with 5 goals - 1 assist.

Vikingur Reykjavik, on the other hand, is ranked at 2nd place with 25 points and comes in perfect form after winning five out of the last five league games. Still, they sit six points behind Breidablik but they could challenge for the title if they keep going like this. In the Champions League qualifiers, they were really unlucky as after a great performance in the first leg on the road where they lost 3-2 they managed to push Malmo to a 3-3 draw.

With 28 goals they have the second-best attack in the league and in the last five matches scored a total of 14 goals averaging almost three goals per game while managing to find the back of the net in each encounter. For them it has been Ingason with 4 goals - 5 assists and Hansen 4 goals - 1 assist leading the attack.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal in this one. Hafnarfjordur plays in front of their fans and this season they have scored 13 of their 16 goals there. Worth mentioning is the fact that their rivals also played a very tiring match against Malmo just two days ago and they spent a lot of energy. Vikingur Reykjavik is obviously the favorite to continue their winning streak but as a minimum, I think they should be able to score once.
