On Thursday night, Icelandic Urvalsdeild leaders Breidablik host KR Reykjavik as the home team look to continue their stellar recent league form.
Breidablik
The home team sit atop the Icelandic top-flight table after a solid start to their league campaign. They are already eight points clear at the top, having won nine of their first ten games of the league season.

A major contributing factor in Breidablik’s stellar campaign so far has been their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in nine of their ten league outings this season.
One key figure for Breidablik this season has been former Norwich youngster Isak Sorvaldsson, who has scored ten goals in nine league appearances.
The team from Kopavogur also have a formidable recent home record dating back to last season, as they have won their previous 15 home matches in the Urvalsdeild while scoring at least two goals in all of the home victories.
KR Reykjavik
The visitors are the most successful team in the history of the Urvalsdeild. However, KR have made a slightly underwhelming start to their league campaign.
Runar Kristinsson’s team are unbeaten in their previous seven league matches, although five of those undefeated games have finished in draws. They have also drawn their last two league matches against IA and Stjarnan.
The visitor's inconsistent form has seen them fall 11 points behind their table-topping opponents in the fight for the top spot in the Icelandic top-flight.
However, one of the major positives for the team from the Icelandic capital has been their away record. KR have won seven of their last nine league games on their travels while suffering just one defeat in the run.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Breidablik will continue their good form this season by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
