Historical Statistical Verdict

From a historical and statistical standpoint, Vikingur Reykjavik hold the clear edge in this pairing so far. They lead the head-to-head 1-0, have scored 2 goals to Hapoel Beer Sheva’s 1, and come into the return leg unbeaten in three Champions League matches this season with two wins and one draw. Hapoel Beer Sheva, by contrast, have only one Champions League fixture on their 2026 record, that 2-1 loss in Reykjavik, and must rely on home advantage at Toto Turner Stadium to rebalance both the tie and the emerging H2H pattern.
