Stjarnan will look to bounce back from a heavy 5-0 defeat to KR Reykjavik in the Icelandic top flight when they take on Ilves in the Conference League second qualifying round. Given the attacking potential of both sides, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw. Despite that disappointing league result, the Icelanders impressed in the opening qualifying round by eliminating Vikingur of the Faroe Islands 5-3 on aggregate. Stjarnan have been involved in entertaining matches of late, averaging 4.4 goals per game over their last ten outings, while both teams have scored in nine of those matches. Boss Jokull Elisson could freshen up his starting XI, with Nokkvason, Waren, and Ingason all pushing for recalls.
Ilves, meanwhile, head into Thursday’s clash in high spirits after seeing off Differdange in the first qualifying round. The Finnish outfit also recorded a convincing 3-1 win over TPS at the weekend, with Teemu Hytonen stealing the headlines by scoring a brace. Even though Ilves have struggled for consistency on the road lately, their attack has been firing, averaging 2.4 goals per match in the last ten games, and they will surely fancy their chances against a Stjarnan defence that has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of those fixtures.
Stjarnan have seen BTTS land in nine of their last ten matches, while Ilves have scored freely in recent weeks. Therefore, Both Teams to Score betting option should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 20:00.
