Head-to-head statistics KR Reykjavik - Vikingur Reykjavik
KR Reykjavik Team Overview
KR, managed by Óskar Hrafn Þorvaldsson, sit second with 47 points and have the most potent attack in the league. In the last round they thrashed Akranes 5-1, taking their tally to 79 goals in 23 matches. That is a record for the Icelandic top flight - the previous best was 76 goals, set by Víkingur in their title-winning 2023 season. The win was KR's response to an away defeat against the same opponents a week earlier, a match Þorvaldsson described as one of the worst of the summer. On Sunday, goalkeeper Arnar Freyr Ólafsson started for the first time since the opening round of the season, and the manager singled him out as the best player on the pitch. At home, KR have gone 14 consecutive league matches without defeat.
Match Results: KR Reykjavik
Vikingur Reykjavik Team Overview
Víkingur, led by Sölvi Geir Ottesen, have accumulated 56 points and lost just once in their last 25 league matches. Against KR this season they have taken four points from six: three at home and one away. Their European campaign ended in late August when they were beaten twice by Bosnian side Borac in the Conference League qualifying play-offs. With only the league remaining, they opened the championship round with a win over Keflavík, with Stígur Dyljan Þórðarson scoring twice. Víkingur have been without Óskar Borgþórsson since the end of July. He broke his ankle in the Champions League qualifying rounds, and the manager estimated his recovery at 12 to 16 weeks.

Total Prediction
Fewer than five goals have been scored in 7 of Víkingur's last 8 away matches. The champions concede little on the road - an average of one goal per game this season. A low-scoring result is more typical for the visitors than a high-scoring affair. The pick is Total Goals - Under 4.5.
Reliable Bet
Fewer than six goals have been scored in 11 of Víkingur's last 12 matches. None of them turned into a shootout. KR play productively at home - averaging 3.83 goals per match. But even with those numbers, six goals is a long way off. The bet is Total Goals - Under 5.5.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely scorelines are: 1-1 (7.87%), 2-2 (7.18%) and 1-2 (6.47%). The most probable outcome is a 1-1 draw, though the difference in probability between the options is small.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
At home, KR have gone 16 matches unbeaten across all competitions. They have also scored in each of their last 20 home matches. Víkingur tell a different story on the road: they have failed to win in 7 of their last 8 away matches. The leaders are in no rush - even a slip-up on Saturday leaves them three rounds to spare. KR, meanwhile, have lost just one of their last ten league matches. We don't expect Víkingur to wrap up the title this Saturday. Our bet is KR not to lose. Predicted score: 2-2.
