Vikingur Reykjavik team overview
Vikingur Reykjavik have another good season. In the domestic league, they are at the top of the standings with six points more than the closest opponent, KR Reykjavik. Also, Vikingur had one huge win against Gyor on the international level, so now the Icelandic champions are in a solid position even if they fail to overturn the large deficit on Thursday evening, as Solvi Ottesen's team will get another chance in the Conference League qualifications.
Vikingur Reykjavik have another good campaign, but their recent results don't provide too much optimism. They are winless in the last four matches across all competitions. In the most recent outing, Ottesen's team played 2-2 at home against Vestmannaeyjar. The hosts were close to all three points, but the visitors found the second goal late in the game, and the teams eventually split the points.
Vikingur Reykjavik have some problems with missing players. They will be without Ingvar Jonsson. Also, Tarik Ibrahimagic, Elias Mar Omarsson, and Oskar Borgthorsson are questionable, and their statuses will get clearer closer to the kickoff.

Thun team overview
After a historic first league title last year, Thun had high expectations for the 2026/27 season. Still, they are far from the desired level at the start of the campaign with only two victories in six matches across all competitions. In the Champions League qualification, Thun were eliminated by Dinamo Zagreb, while in the Swiss Super League, Gian-Luca Privitelli's team collected only three points in three matches. One of the rare bright spots was a 3-0 victory against Vikingur Reykjavik.
Last weekend, Thun lost 4-2 on the road against Basel. That was another match in which Privitelli's team had so many defensive issues, as the hosts created an xG of only 1.09, but still conceded four goals. That was the third of the last four games in which Thun allowed at least two goals.
Thun will be without injured Mattias Kait and Genis Montolio on Thursday in Reykjavik.

Prediction
Both teams have terrible defenses lately. Vikingur Reykjavik conceded nine goals in the last four matches, while Thun allowed 2+ goals in three of the previous four games. The hosts will have to push for goals after a 3-0 defeat in the first leg, and we should expect a high-scoring game on Thursday night. Our prediction: Over 3.5 goals.
