Vikingur R welcome Borac BB to Kopavogsvollur in the UEFA Conference League league phase on Thursday. The hosts are coming off a 3-0 home thrashing to Breidablik in the Icelandic Besta Deild Karla last week.
Isak Thorvaldsson scored a brace, while Aron Bjarnason added a third goal in the 80th minute. Borac, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a goalless draw at Velez Mostar in the Bosnian Liga BIH. The Red-Blues now shift their attention to the continent, where their last game was a 1-0 win at APOEL, while Vikingur claimed a 3-1 home win over Cercle Brugge.
The victory propeled Vikingur to 22nd in the table, while Borac are one point better off in 11th spot.

Vikingur R vs Borac BB Prediction
Vikingur will play a second consecutive European game at home following their victory over Cercle Brugge. This game is technically not a home game, as it's being played in Kopavogur rather than their traditional home ground of Vikingsvollur. However, Arnar Gunnlaugsson's side are unlikely to be fazed, as they have lost one of their last 11 European games in Iceland, winning seven.
Borac, meanwhile, defied expectations to leave Cyprus with maximum points last time out despite being the underdogs against APOEL. Their draw over the weekend snapped their five-game winning run, but Mladen Zizovic's side haven't tasted defeat since September. Their good form has been predicated on a defence that has kept a shutout in four of their last five games across competitions.
Hence, expect the two sides to share the spoils in a high-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Vikingur 2-2 Borac
