Fylkir take on the visitors Vikingur Reykjavik in the round 13 match of Icelandic Besta Deild Karla. The match will be played on Thursday, June 29th at Fylkisvöllur (Reykjavík).
Last season, Fylkir won the country's second division and returned to the top division of the Icelandic championship. Whether they can establish themselves here for at least a year or not will be shown in time. Currently, the team is only in eighth place in the table. At the halfway point of their matches so far, Fylkir has lost, including three defeats at home against Breidablik (1-2), Keflavik (1-2), and Valur (1-6). I think the chances of a draw for the hosts in the match against the league leader are incredibly slim. However, Fylkir's players are capable of unsettling their opponents' nerves and scoring at least one goal.

If the hosts manage to score at least once, the guests will need to score at least twice to win. And I don't see anything impossible about that. Vikingur Reykjavik confidently leads the championship, already five points ahead of the nearest pursuer in the table after 13 rounds, with 11 wins in the league, dropping points in only two matches. Among their recent results are home victories over Fram (2-0) and Stjarnan (3-1). But Vikingur can also win away matches, with four wins and one draw in five away games in the championship.
The visitors objectively and obviously go into the match as favorites. And there is almost no doubt that Vikingur Reykjavik will win. With all due respect to the hosts, they are noticeably inferior to the championship leader in terms of class. The odds for the favorite's victory are too low, so I will bet on this outcome along with Over 1.5 goals. Over 1.5 goals have been scored 11 times in matches involving both the hosts and the guests this season. Essentially, Vikingur alone could already reach this total in the first half. But the opponent is also capable of scoring a goal. In the last three head-to-head matches, the favorite predictably prevailed through Over 1.5 goals: 2-0, 2-1, 4-3.
Prediction for the match: Vikingur to win and Over 1.5 scored goals.
