AKUREYRI, Iceland (Interstat) — Thor/KA Women will host Stjarnan Women on Saturday, May 23, in a Week 17 match of the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild Women’s season.

Both teams enter the contest with contrasting recent results. Thor/KA is coming off a 4-1 victory over Valur on May 6, a result that snapped a two-match losing streak dating to August 2025. That win marked the first league victory for Thor/KA since a 2-0 triumph over ÍBV on June 10, 2022 — a span of nearly four years. The home side’s other results this season include a 3-0 loss at KR on Aug. 10, 2025, and a 4-1 defeat at Selfoss on June 10, 2022.

Stjarnan played to a 1-1 draw with Afturelding on May 11, extending a winless run in league play. The visitors’ most recent victory was a 2-0 decision over ÍBV on June 10, 2022, the same date as Thor/KA’s last league win. Stjarnan’s other results this season include a 2-0 loss at KR on May 6, a 2-1 defeat at Keflavík on Aug. 17, 2025, and a 4-0 loss to Valur on July 30, 2025.

Despite the similar recent struggles, simulation models favor Stjarnan. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 final score in favor of the visitors. The company’s ELO rating system gives Stjarnan a 54.60% probability of winning, suggesting a narrow edge for the side from Garðabær.

Saturday’s match carries additional weight as both teams jostle for position in the middle of the table during the latter stages of the regular season. Thor/KA will look to build on the momentum of their May 6 upset of Valur, while Stjarnan seeks its first win since the 2022 campaign.

Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. local time at Akureyrarvöllur.
