Vikingur Reykjavik vs Brondby Prediction and Betting Tips

Vikingur Reykjavik continue their push for UEFA Europa Conference League qualification, with a clash against Brondby in the first leg of their third qualifying round tie on Thursday. The Icelandic side, which made it to the knockout round playoffs of the competition last season, have been on a roll again this time around.

Sölvi Ottesen's team ousted Kosovan side Malisheva with a crushing 9-0 aggregate victory in the first round, before seeing off a feisty Vllaznia side 5-4 following an epic win at home in the second leg.

Now, into the third round, Vikingur will be in no mood to slow down. A big win at home would give them a healthy advantage ahead of the decider next week, and their record holds them in good stead.

The Vikingar have lost just two of their last 10 home games in Europe, including qualifiers, while winning their most recent three with an aggregate score of 14-3. Brondby plausibly won't be excited for their trip to Reykjavik, as the Danish side have an atrocious record away from home.

They have failed to win any of their last 12 European games on the road, losing nine.

Vikingur Reykjavik vs Brondby Prediction

Reykjavik will be confident of their chances here, given their incredible record at home in Europe. They've also won both their qualifier games in the Icelandic capital this season, and netted at least four times on each occasion.

Similarly, Brondby tend to struggle on the road in European fixtures, a pattern we could see repeat here too. It won't be a blowout for the hosts, but they should still win, nonetheless.
