Grotta Women — Stjarnan Women: 27:32, Olis Deild Women

Grótta (women) fell to Stjarnan (women) 27:32 in the Olís Deild on 19 September 2026. The visitors moved clear at the midway point and held firm until the final whistle. By then the shape of the result was already settled, though neither side threw the game away.

Grótta arrived with a win and a draw from two outings, sitting fifth on two points. Stjarnan had played twice as well, collecting two draws and sitting eighth with none. The home side had beaten Stjarnan in April but this time the pattern shifted.

The visitors took control in the opening quarter and never looked back. Grótta responded but could not find the same rhythm, their attacks lacking the sharpness that had carried them against Selfoß and Fram. Stjarnan worked the channels and punished the gaps.

We had backed the home side at 53 per cent confidence. The prediction did not come off, and the reason was simple: Grótta's defence opened up when Stjarnan pressed. The visitors sensed blood and took advantage.

Stjarnan now move into the upper half with their first points, while Grótta remain on two after two games. The gap between fifth and eighth closes to one point, and the table tells a different story than the early weeks suggested.
