Iceland's top flight continues on Sunday night as Reykjavik host Stjarnan. With Reykjavik in prolific scoring form, having netted 15 goals across their last four league matches, the home side look well placed to take control.
A. Sigurdsson starred in the previous league round, producing three goal contributions on his own with two goals and one assist, making him the key figure in Reykjavik's 5-2 win over Vestmannaeyjar. His recent form has been outstanding. In the four league matches since June 23, he has made a decisive impact every time, and in the win over Akranes he also delivered three goal contributions, again with two goals and one assist. So far this season, A. Sigurdsson has recorded 14 goals and 7 assists in 15 league matches, underlining just how influential he has been. Combined with Reykjavik's strong home record of 7 wins and 1 draw from 8 league games this season, they have every reason to believe they can claim all three points.
Stjarnan are also involved in European competition this season. In the second leg of the UEFA Conference League first qualifying round, they nearly slipped up after falling two goals behind, but recovered in time to earn a draw and progress 5-3 on aggregate. Back in the Icelandic league, however, their form has been inconsistent, with 4 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from 14 matches, leaving them in mid-table on 15 points. That puts them 17 points behind Reykjavik. Adding to the concern, Stjarnan are winless in their last four away matches in all competitions, with 2 draws and 2 defeats, while conceding at least two goals in each game. All signs point to a difficult outing for the visitors.
