Víkingur Reykjavík continue their fine title defense, defeating Hafnarfjordur 3-2 in their last game despite going behind in the first half. However, they were held to a 1-1 draw against Flora in their previous game in the first leg of the Conference League qualification semifinal. They remain unbeaten in their last four games. The defending champions sit first on the table with 39 points in 17 games, scoring 42 goals and conceding 18.

Vestri continue to struggle for a win after playing a goalless draw in their last game against Akranes. Djúpmenn remain winless in their last eight games, losing five and drawing 3. Playing away from home hasn't been different; they are also winless in their last six away games. They sit 11th on the table with 13 points in 17 games, scoring 18 and conceding 38. However, Gustav Kjeldsen will be out due to a knee injury.

Both sides have met twice in their history. Víkingur Reykjavík won on both occasions. First, a 3-0 win in 2021 and a 4-1 win back in May.

Víkingur Reykjavík have not taken their title defense lightly. They have been exceptional this season, and an easy win is likely in this clash. Vestri aren't a serious type, and they have stayed without a win in their last eight games. However, I expect much of the goals to come in the second part of the game.
