Keflavik vs Vikingur
Icelandic Besta deildin
Date: 8 July 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
Venue: HS Orku vollurinn (Keflavik).
Vikingur Reykjavik will have a great opportunity to prolong their impressive streak of four straight wins across competitions on Saturday afternoon when they visit HS Orku vollurinn for the Matchday No 14 clash against the rock-bottomed Keflavik.
Vikingur are marching towards their seventh Icelandic top flight title. After finishing third last year, the team from the capital city are eight points clear at the top of Besta deildin standings after 13 rounds of the competition.
Head coach Arnar Gunnlaugsson is doing an amazing job with this group of players this season. Vikingur look unstoppable with 12 wins, 1 draw, and only 1 loss in 14 league fixtures this term.
Vikingur at the same time boast the second-best attacking and the very best defensive record in the competition.
The fact they have allowed only 9 goals in 14 league fixtures bodes well ahead of the clash with the division’s weakest attacking unit.
Keflavik sit at the very foot of the league standings with only 8 points in 13 outings. They have managed to find the back of the net just 8 times since the beginning of the season.
The difference in quality between these two rivals is enormous. Vikingur have stormed past Keflavik by at least three goals difference in each of the previous three H2H affairs and we do not expect a different scenario this time around.
The main pick is Vikingur Reykjavik to win in -1.5 Asian Handicap at the 2.10 odds while we are also very much tempted by the 2.62 odds offered for the away win to nil.
