So well, its June !
Stjarnan has just been amazing. They came up from First Division as runners-up along with IBV and they have definitely showed that they are not leaveing any time soon.
But only five rounds are completed and we check upon the 6th.
Keflavik - Stjarnan Gardabaer
We’ll start with this match. Stjarnan are on the top of the table. Keflavik currently has not lost a point at home and I think they will just dominate this game.
Stjarnan will learn their lesson that they do not deserve the first spot (obviously not a fan). Keflavik will win 3-1, 3-0.
IBV Vestmannaeyjar - Grindavik
Relegation battle? No, I don’t think so. Or too soon to say. Grindavik are now on a run after their new coach and IBV scored their first goals in the last game by Fjolnir. IBV has although two strong players suspended and that might affect them. I havn’t seen the IBV team yet but Grindavik team have all the possibility to tease the top teams. I think this one will be a bore draw. IBV low scoring home stadium(so far) will prove to end 0-1, 1-1, 0-0.
Fram Reykjavik - Breidablik Kopavogur
I think the division is much more equal than ever. I think this game will prove that. Breidablik has surprised me so far this season. They have very powerful attack (scored 10 in 5 games) but their defense is like a open gate. Fram has a very strong defense and their goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson is rumoured to be the next national goalkeeper in the coming years. Their attack thou can be repaired. Fram always keep the game in the low and the dont participate in goalscoring games.
So to mix these teams we might have some fun. I am gonna go a bit wild here and predict a Breidablik win tonight. Not draw, just the win. Fram are clear favorites and I think that there is something in their heads that will affect them and Breidablik will win tonight.
Alfred Finnbogason, young Icelandic wonderkid has hit the net in all 5 games on the season, making him the leading goalscorer with 5 goals. Breidablik young team will make a good trip (about 10km) to Reykjavik and win this one, 0-2.
Valur Reykjavik - Throttur Reykjavik
This will be a boring match. I think Throttur will relegate this year. Play such poor football and Valur will just play with the fire tonight. Valur will win 3-0.
FH Hafnarfjordur - Fjolnir Reykjavik
Fjolnir has lost a lot of strong players since last season and clearly are struggling after losing against IBV last round at home 1-3 with 11 players on the pitch when IBV ended up with 9. Champions, FH Hafnarfjordur have showed that they will definitely fight for the top spot this year as they won KR Reykjavik 2-1 in their last match.
FH will win this one, have played two away games in a row and smashed 6 pts from them and I just can’t see Fjolnir trouble them with their run.
Fylkir Reykjavik - KR Reykjavik
Our TV match for the week and a top clash. Young Fylkir squad is very promising but are also running on a very tight group so if I’d see someone get injured or suspended they may already have a weakness. KR has a strong squad which seems to be getting together finally after struggling on pre-season. This match will be quite interesting one and a hard to bet on. I could say for sure the half-time results will be 0-0.
Both teams lost in the last round 2-1, Fylkir against Stjarnan away and KR against FH home. Both teams seem to have all players fit and nobody suspended as I know of at the moment.
I think I would go for a draw here but always when I bet draw on Fylkir they seem to beat their opponent. Fylkir has secured 9 points at their home stadium so far (which has by the way around 500 seats and is full when 2500 tickets are bought). KR has however played two away games and won them both. And KR also has not conceded in an away match yet.
Will they tonight?
Good luck guys.
