The Icelandic Pepsideild is fully underway. After 14 gameweeks played Hafnarfjordur sit on the third place in the standings with 24 points earned and 23-16 goal difference. The Icelandic side started performing in the Eurocups from the UEFA Champions League but after having knocked out Vikingur Reykjavik 1:1, 2:0 Hafnarfjordur were thrown away by Slovenia’s Maribor 0:1, 0:1 and now the team is doing not so well in the UEFA Europa League now: the club lost 1:2 at the home field to the Portuguese, having decreased its chances for promotion to the Group stage to the minimal. Moreover, Hafnarfjordur couldn’t win across last three clashes without a single scored goal in them.
With a triumph gained on the road, Braga have practically fulfilled their task to promote to the next round of the Eurocups. I believe that the Portuguese club will complete their task and qualify for the Group stage in the home battle.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
