The relegation round in Iceland’s Besta deild karla has narrowed the battle to the bottom six, where Valur and Stjarnan sit level on 31 points while FH holds 27, KA 23, Þór Akureyri 21, and ÍBV 19 after 24 matches. Þór’s league-worst goal difference of minus-34 already marks it as the clearest candidate for direct relegation to 1. deild karla, while ÍBV’s winless run in 12 and KA’s inconsistent results leave both vulnerable in the remaining fixtures. Recent results, including FH’s 5-2 win over Stjarnan and ÍBV’s 1-1 draw with Valur on 20 September, have tightened the table further, with tiebreakers likely to hinge on goal difference and head-to-head points. The final matchdays will decide whether any of the three lowest sides can climb clear or whether additional playoff spots come into play.
