Match Day 2 in the Championship Group in the Icelandic League, with Stjarnan playing host to Akranes. Stjarnan are sitting 4th in the 6-team group with 35 points, Akranes are sitting 5th with 34 points, with both teams realistically playing for the 3rd spot that leads to the Conference League qualifiers next season, where Valur are sitting with 39 points. 

Stjarnan have one of the strongest home grounds in this league (W7 D2 L2), scoring 23 goals and conceding 13, while winning 5 of L/6 at home (W5 D1 L0), keeping 4 clean sheets and scoring 2+ goals in 5 of 6. Dating back to April, Stjarnan have lost just 1 of 13 home matches in all competitions (W10 D2 L1), and that loss came to league leaders Vikingur Reykjavik. 

Akranes lost to Breidablik by 2-0 on the road in Match Day 1 of this Championship Group and have now lost 3 of L/4. Mediocre at best on the road (W3 D4 L5), and winning just 1 of L/7 away matches (W1 D3 L3), but take that win with a grain of salt, as their opponents were distracted from their involvement in the Conference League qualifiers. 

Stjarnan beat Akranes by 3-1 on the road and by 4-1 at home in the regular season, coming back from 1 goal behind to score 3 and 4 goals respectively. They have now won 3 in a row against Akranes, and 6 of L/7, while remaining unbeaten against them in L/12 (W9 D3 L0) and winning 5 of L/6 as hosts.
