take on the visitors Fylkir in the round 15 match of Icelandic Besta Deild Karla. The match will be played on Sunday, July 21st at Stjornuvollur (Gardabaer).
By the way, in terms of squad value, Stjarnan ranks fourth in the Icelandic Premier League. Therefore, the current seventh place in the table does not satisfy the club's management, fans, or supporters. Having gained only one point in the last three league matches, the team has dropped out of the top 6. It's time to get back. Two of the last three league matches were away games, and at home, they played against the strongest team in the country, Vikingur. So, the poor results didn't surprise me personally. In the battle with Fylkir, I expect nothing but a victory from the hosts. At home in Gardabaer, Stjarnan looks completely different compared to their away games. Four out of five league wins this season were secured on their home turf. At their home ground, the team from the suburbs of the capital has beaten both Valur and Hafnarfjordur. Fylkir should be even easier for them.

It's highly likely that this capital city team will not be in the top six by the end of the regular season. In the upcoming match against the "stars," the "orange-blacks" are likely to lose, as they are noticeably inferior in class. Moreover, in terms of away match performances this season, Fylkir is the weakest team in the Premier League, having suffered six defeats in seven away games. This season, the team has already lost on the road to Akranes (1-5), Fram (1-2), KA Akureyri (2-4), Vikingur (2-5), Hafnarfjordur (1-3), and Valur (0-4).
So, what do we have in the end? One team plays brilliantly at home, while the other is terrible in away matches, having gained only one point in seven league away games. On paper, Stjarnan is the clear favorite. Neither the hosts nor the guests have significant squad losses; both teams are at full strength. However, Stjarnan's squad is objectively stronger and has a deeper bench. The Stjarnan players also approach this match in a great mood, as the team has already passed one stage of the Conference League qualification, beating Linfield from Northern Ireland (2-0 and 2-3) over two legs. In both matches, their best forward, Emil Atlason, who is in good form, scored a goal. I believe that Stjarnan will easily defeat Fylkir. This is what they have done in three of the last four head-to-head matches, including one win this season (1-0 away).
Prediction for the match: Stjarnan to win.
