IR Reykjavik Recent Form
IR Reykjavik have been consistent at home in Division 1 this season, winning four of their five home league fixtures. Their attacking play is built around direct central runs and set-piece delivery, both of which have produced goals against similar opposition. Away from home the form is more mixed, but in this fixture they hold the ground advantage.
| Match | Date | Competition | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| IR Reykjavik 1-0 KR | 2026-05-15 | Iceland Division 1 | 1-0 |
| IR Reykjavik 2-1 Selfoss | 2026-05-22 | Iceland Division 1 | 2-1 |
| Grindavik 1-1 IR Reykjavik | 2026-05-29 | Iceland Division 1 | 1-1 |
| IR Reykjavik 3-0 Fjolnir | 2026-06-05 | Iceland Division 1 | 3-0 |
| Keflavik 1-2 IR Reykjavik | 2026-06-19 | Iceland Division 1 | 1-2 |
Four wins from five across their last two months gives IR Reykjavik a confident base heading into this local derby. Their home record is the standout figure. Four wins at their own ground from five attempts represents a strength that the data does not allow to be dismissed.
Throttur Recent Form
Throttur have shown inconsistency in the first half of the Division 1 season, winning in bursts but failing to sustain form across consecutive fixtures. Their away record is a concern, with one win from four away games this season. Against higher-placed home opposition, they have tended to sit deep and hope for counter-attacking moments.
| Match | Date | Competition | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Throttur 2-0 Fjolnir | 2026-05-17 | Iceland Division 1 | 2-0 |
| Selfoss 3-1 Throttur | 2026-05-24 | Iceland Division 1 | 1-3 |
| Throttur 1-1 Grindavik | 2026-05-31 | Iceland Division 1 | 1-1 |
| Throttur 2-1 Breidablik 2 | 2026-06-07 | Iceland Division 1 | 2-1 |
| Keflavik 2-0 Throttur | 2026-06-21 | Iceland Division 1 | 0-2 |
One win from four away games. That figure tells the story. Throttur are workmanlike at home but have not shown the capacity to take points from strong home sides on the road. IR Reykjavik’s home record is precisely the kind of environment where that away weakness has been exposed before.

Key Factors to Consider
The analysis of this Division 1 derby centres on a small number of determinative factors.
- IR Reykjavik’s home record reads four wins from five in Division 1 2026. In the context of the second tier of Icelandic football, that is above the league average for home wins.
- Throttur have won once in four away games this season. Their away defensive record has conceded nine goals in four matches.
- IR Reykjavik’s 3-0 win over Fjolnir two weeks ago was their most complete performance of the season. They demonstrated the capacity to dominate set pieces and second-ball situations at home.
- Throttur’s 2-0 home win over Fjolnir shows they can perform when the conditions suit them, but Fjolnir are one of Division 1’s weaker sides.
- Local derbies in Iceland’s Division 1 have averaged under 3.5 goals this season, with defensive organisation typically tightening in direct city rivalries.
- Both teams are in the middle section of the Division 1 table, meaning this is a significant fixture for both sides’ promotion ambitions.
Free Tips on IR Reykjavik vs Throttur
Beyond the match result, the following secondary market observations are worth considering.
- Consider IR Reykjavik to win by a narrow margin. Their home dominance is consistent but not overwhelming. A 2-1 or 1-0 result fits their recent home pattern.
- Note that Throttur have scored in two of their last four away games. The Both Teams to Score market at this level can be volatile, but Throttur’s counter-attacking threat is real.
- As the head-to-head record showed, IR Reykjavik have won their last three home fixtures against Throttur. That pattern in recent direct meetings is the most relevant directional indicator available.
- Factor in the low-scoring tendency of Reykjavik derbies. Under 3.5 goals is a market worth examining across this matchup’s recent history.
- Examine the first-half goals market. IR Reykjavik have scored first in four of their five home games this season, and that pattern suggests early pressure will generate the opening goal.

IR Reykjavik vs Throttur Football Prediction 2026
The IR Reykjavik vs Throttur prediction 2026 leans toward the home side on the basis of their established home record and Throttur’s persistent difficulty in taking points away from home. The IR Reykjavik vs Throttur match prediction does not suggest a comfortable margin. Division 1 derbies in Iceland tend to produce tight, contested games. But the directional data is clear.
The IR Reykjavik vs Throttur odds will likely show the home side as moderate favourites. That positioning is supported by four key data points: home record, away record, head-to-head pattern, and Throttur’s goal concession rate on the road.
Admittedly, derbies carry unpredictability that statistics do not fully capture. A motivated Throttur side on the road could produce a different result. But in the absence of data pointing that way, the logical pick here rests with IR Reykjavik.
