75%

Form speaks louder than position

FH Hafnarfjörður have collected 10 points from their last five matches — three wins, one draw, one loss — while scoring 169 goals to 157 conceded. Vikingur have managed nothing from five: five defeats, 116 goals for, 142 against. Vikingur have scored 116 in five, conceding 142. FH won at home against Stjarnan 38:31 and Valur 37:36, drew away at Afturelding 33:33, and lost narrowly away at Valur 30:32. Vikingur lost at home to KA 24:26 and to Stjarnan 28:30, and suffered heavy away defeats — 25:27 to Afturelding, 21:26 to Kopavogur HK, and 18:33 to KA.

Two wins, both convincing

The head-to-head record runs in FH's favour. On 22 September 2023 they won 30:21 at home. Both wins were comfortable. Vikingur have not beaten FH in either of these meetings. Recent results confirm FH's edge is widening.

Three-point gap

FH sit fourth with three points from two matches — one win, one loss. Vikingur are ninth after one match with zero points from one game. FH's recent five-match run shows consistency; Vikingur's five-match run shows nothing but defeats. The gap in quality is wider than the points difference suggests.

No team news available

Neither side has confirmed injuries or suspensions. Without new information, the form figures stand as they are. The defensive record tells a similar story: FH concede 31.4 per game, Vikingur 28.4. The difference is not in goals conceded but in goals scored.

A draw would suit Vikingur — and that is the risk

If Vikingur can park the bus and keep the score tight, they might survive. But their recent results show they do not do that well. They have lost five straight, conceding 28.4 goals per game while scoring just 23.2. FH have won three of five and drawn one. The most likely outcome is a home victory. Rotation or a sudden spark could change this, but neither side shows signs of either.
