Borac vs Vikingur Reykjavik Prediction 27 August 2026
🔊 Borac Banja Luka and Víkingur Reykjavík meet in the second leg of their Conference League qualifying play-off. The Bosnians won the first leg in Reykjavík 3-1, giving them a comfortable advantage heading into this match. Víkingur now need to chase the game and overturn a two-goal deficit, while Borac can afford to be more pragmatic and look to exploit space on the counter.
A place in the Conference League league phase is at stake.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two sides have met twice before. In the first leg of the current tie, Borac won in Iceland (3-1). Prior to that, the clubs had crossed paths in European competition, with Víkingur winning that meeting 2-0. Each side therefore has one win from their two head-to-head encounters.
Head-to-head statistics Borac - Vikingur Reykjavik
Borac Banja Luka Team Overview
Borac made a strong statement in the first leg, winning 3-1 away from home. The result was no fluke: they were more clinical in front of goal and took their chances well, scoring three times.
Back from Iceland, the side beat Čelik 2-0 in the league, keeping a clean sheet. Earlier in qualifying, Borac needed penalties to get past Vitebsk, but they now head into the second leg with a comfortable advantage.

Match Results: Borac Banja Luka
Vikingur Reykjavik Team Overview
Iceland's Víkingur are in a difficult position after losing the first leg 1-3 at home. They had the better of possession and earned 10 corners, but Borac were far more clinical in attack. Víkingur only pulled one back late on, through a Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty.
Their domestic form, however, suggests they are in decent shape. Since the first leg, they beat Valur 2-0, and before that they defeated Hafnarfjörður 4-2.
They will have to take risks now. A single goal is not enough to force extra time, so they need to push forward from the opening minutes.
The problem is that this suits Borac. The higher Víkingur's defensive line, the more space the hosts will have to counter.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
Borac played a near-perfect first leg and now hold a two-goal advantage. At home, they have no need to push the tempo, which makes their task considerably easier.
Víkingur have to attack, so they will get their chances. But overturning a two-goal deficit in Banja Luka will be difficult, especially if the hosts are again effective on the counter. The most likely scoreline is 2-2. Main bet: Both Teams to Score - Yes.
