Head-to-head statistics Hafnarfjordur - Vikingur Reykjavik
FH Hafnarfjordur Team Overview
Hafnarfjördur finished last season in fifth place, but the club chose not to extend Heimir Gudjonsson's contract. In the winter, Jóhannes Karl Gudjonsson took charge of the team. The result - the squad was significantly overhauled, and the start was disastrous: two points from the first nine matches. Things then improved: 15 points from the next nine with no defeats. Last round, three points away at KA lifted Hafnarfjördur out of the relegation zone. Their attack has been modest, though: 22 goals this season, with only bottom side Thor scoring fewer.
Match Results: FH Hafnarfjordur
Vikingur Reykjavik Team Overview
Víkingur are the reigning Icelandic champions, and a second consecutive title is within reach: Sölvi Ottesen's side have lost just once this season and have the best defence in the league, conceding only 16 goals. The summer, however, has been tough. In the Champions League qualifiers, Víkingur lost to Hapoel Beer-Sheva, and on Thursday they were also eliminated from the Europa League - Thun went through. That match was their third in eight days, and in the two league rounds before it they drew both games, conceding two goals in each. On the road, though, Víkingur have been impressive: 11 wins in their last 13 away matches in the top flight.

So there's no need to worry about the visitors' attack. The same goes for the other side: at home against Vikingur, the hosts have scored in 14 of their last 15 league head-to-heads. The timing is good too - the champions have conceded in nine matches in a row, including European games. In 6 of the last 7 head-to-heads at Kaplakriki both teams scored, and Vikingur have that same run going in the league over six matches. The bet is both teams to score. Score prediction - 1:2.
