- Competition: Iceland - Division 1
- Date: Thursday, 3rd, July 2025
- Kickoff: 20:15 UK / 21.15 CEST
- Venue: Grindavikurvollur (Grindavik)
Looking to keep pace with the league leaders, Njardvik travel to Grindavikurvollur for a Thursday night clash against lower-half side Grindavik.
Grindavik’s domestic campaign has started to lose momentum as they showed in their latest league outing where they suffered a heavy 6-1 humiliation at the hands of top-ranked IR Reykjavik away from home, a result that has brought them perilously close to the relegation zone, now just four points above it.
Njardvik confidently stayed hot on the league leader’s heels after delivering a strong attacking display to comfortably see off Keflavik 3-1 in front of their home crowd, maintaining second place and a two-point gap behind IR Reykjavik at the top.
Grindavik vs Njardvik Betting Tips : OVER 3.5
Although UMF Njardvik enters as the clear favorite despite being the visitors, their road to securing three points won’t be a stroll in the park since Grindavik is a formidable side capable of turning this match into a high-scoring thriller. Grindavik have definitely been the most thrilling side to watch this term thanks to their lethal attacking line combined with a leaky defense, creating a recipe for high-scoring matches that have produced an astonishing average of 5.3 goals per game, a figure unmatched by any other team. However, the arrival of title-chasers Njardvik, boasting the second-most prolific attacking output in the league, spells trouble for Grindavik's leaky defense, although the second-placed side hasn’t exactly boast their backline work, having leaked in all but one of their last ten second-tier outings. With both sides blazing in offense and possessing a sharp nose for finding the net, plus the fact that three of their last five clashes featured four or more goals, we believe all the ingredients are in place for another goal-filled spectacle.

Suspended after picking up too many bookings, Svavar Orn Thordarson won’t feature against Grindavik, paving the way for Bjorn Aron Bjornsson to take his place in the backline.
Aside from one alteration, boss Gunnar Heidar Thorvaldsson is set to recall the unchanged side that has remained undefeated through ten games with five wins and five draws.
