Keflavík will indeed face a tough challenge as they go up against one of the top teams in the league, given their current position at the bottom of the table. With just 8 points from 13 league games, they have struggled to find consistency and have experienced difficulties both in scoring goals (8) and keeping them out (22).
Their last match saw a 2-0 defeat against KR, and they will be eager to bounce back with a victory. However, facing a strong opponent like Víkingur Reykjavik, who have been performing exceptionally well this season, will undoubtedly pose a significant challenge for Keflavík.
