Víkingur Reykjavík vs KR Reykjavík Prediction: Rain of goals expected in the Reykjavík Derby

Víkingur Reykjavík and KR Reykjavík will settle scores in the Reykjavík Derby clash of the season on Saturday at the Víkingsvöllur. KR have 1 win in their last 15 games against Víkingur. Can they get the second here? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

Víkingur Reykjavík were held to a 2-2 draw in their last game by Valur. Valdimar Ingimundarson got a brace in the match, but Gylfi Sigurdsson denied him twice with equalizers. Víkingur Reykjavík had just 47% possession of the ball, with 3 of their seven shots on target. With the draw, Vikes are unbeaten in their last eight games. They sit 1st on the table with 26 points in 11 games, scoring 27 goals–the most in the league, and conceding 12–the best defence.

KR Reykjavík suffered a 2-1 loss to Akranes in their last game. Eythor Wohler got the consolation goal for KR Reykjavík in the match after Viktor Johnsson and Marko Vardic had put Akranes 2-0 up. KR have now remained without a win in their last three games. KR-ingar sit 8th on the table with 11 points in 10 games, scoring 19 goals and conceding 21.

Both sides have met 19 times since 2020. Víkingur Reykjavík won 9, KR Reykjavík won 4, and 6 ended in draws. The last game between the two sides ended in a 3-0 awarded win for Víkingur Reykjavík.

Rather than siding with any of the teams in this game, the Reykjavík derby has always been a goal-filled encounter, so I expect this game to follow. The league leaders are the best-scoring team so far, so I expect them to get many goals against a struggling KR side.
