Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Vikingur 0 goal handicap – 1.74
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: First half result draw – 2.22
Levadia Win or Draw
Levadia are in great form in the Estonian MeistriLiiga as they have not lost in 11 consecutive matches since April. Vikingur on the other side won five of their last six games. According to the stats, there is a 70% chance to see over 1.5 goals in this match.
Vikingur 0 Goals Handicap
Vikingur won five of their last six matches. During the Icelandic league this season, Vikingur won six and drew one of their ten matches covering the handicap 0 goal in seven of those games.
First Half Draw
The fact that this is a one-match semi-final tie, we might see a cautious start to the game from both teams. Thus, the probabilities of a draw in the first half are quite high, and it is the favorite outcome by the bookies.
Champions of Estonia in 2021, Levadia will play in the preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League 2022/23 season. Founded in 1998 the club has won ten Meistriliiga titles and has never been relegated from the top division.
Currently second in the league, manager Marko Savic’s team have played 17 games this season, won 14 drew two and lost one. Surely, Savic will hope his team can maintain that form in their European adventure against relatively tougher teams than they play at home.
Vikingur meanwhile are a very old team in Iceland and have won their sixth Icelandic league title in 2021. In Europe, the Vikings played some of Europe’s top teams in the past. To point out, in the 1981-82 season they played Bordeaux ( 0-8 on agg.) and Real Sociedad the following year ( 2-4 agg.)
This season in the Iceland league, Vikingur like their opponents are second after ten rounds and are five points behind leaders Breidablik. Hence, coach Arnar Gunnlaugsson will be keen to take advantage of playing these playoffs on their home ground and qualify for the next phase.
This is a match in which both teams have similar forms and levels. It will be difficult to separate these teams but we think there will be a winner in regular time. Thus, we will back a combo bet of Levadia or Vikingur win and over 1.5 goals.
Considering the semifinals are being played at their home ground, Vikingur might have an advantage over their opponents. Hence, with odds of 4.33 at Vbet, we will back an anytime correct score of 1-2 in favor of Vikingur.
There are no reported injuries or suspensions ahead of Tuesday’s match. However, both teams are entering this match after a win in their respective domestic league games, as a result, the coaches most probably will field the same players who played in those matches.
Levadia: Vallner, Peetson, Ugge, Podholjuzin, Antonov, Putincanin, Pikk, Beglarishvili, Roosnupp, Agyiri, Liliu.
Vikingur: Ingasson, Agnarsson, Andrason, Ekrath, Gunnarsson, Ignasson, Ignasson, Magnusson, Punyed, Sigurdsson, Tomasson.
