Football Bet of the Day: Stjarnan to speed past Fjolnir

Stjarnan v Fjolnir
Monday 21:15

Kev shot for the stars with Sirius yesterday. Their 1-0 defeat at home to Norrkoping might have brought him back down to Earth, but he lands on the soft pillow of another profitable week.

Our quest for something similar begins in Iceland, where tonight's top-flight Urvalsdeild match pits second-placed Stjarnan at home to Fjornir, who are 10th in the 12-team league.

The hosts are W5-D1-L1 on home turf this term, outscoring visitors by almost four goals to one (it's 19-5 overall). They've won the most recent three by a combined 9-0 and, since the start of the campaign, the margin of victory has been at least two goals in 4/5 of those wins.

The visitors have a mirror-image W1-D1-L5 away record and start as outsiders for this one. Their current losing run is four, and they've conceded at least twice in all five defeats this season.

We don't think Stjarnan is the place for Fjolnir to snap their streak, and we fancy the home side to win with something to spare.
