Víkingur Reykjavík vs Hapoel Be'er Sheva: first-leg control matters
See how the teams match up, how the game could play out and where the betting angle starts.
Víkingur edged Győr 3-2 on aggregate and have won 19 of their last 23 at home. Hapoel's pre-season was uneven despite last season's Israeli title.
Víkingur are unbeaten in 23 home matches and face a Hapoel side coming off a 3-1 Super Cup defeat. With a return leg still to come, neither side needs to force the match before the structure opens naturally.
Víkingur Reykjavík draw no bet is the main position. Over 1.5 goals is the lower-variance alternative where offered.
Ingvar Jónsson remains out and Þorkelsson is doubtful for Víkingur; Kangwa remains Hapoel's main creative threat. The XI below is a probable selection built from the latest European and domestic team sheets; recheck the official teams before using any player market.
