Borac Banja Luka welcome Víkingur Reykjavík on August 27, 2026, for the second leg of their Europa Conference League play-off tie. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:30 local time at Gradski Stadion in Foča. Borac hold a valuable two-goal advantage after winning the opening encounter 3-1 on August 20, leaving the hosts in a strong position ahead of the return fixture. Víkingur must respond away from home if they are to reverse the tie, but both clubs approach the match after recording 2-0 victories in their latest domestic outings. With Borac’s excellent home results set against Víkingur’s consistent involvement in high-scoring away games, the second leg offers an intriguing combination of aggregate-score pressure and strong recent form.

Borac Banja Luka Recent Form and Key Statistics

Borac Banja Luka reinforced their confidence with a 2-0 victory over Celik on August 23. That result followed their 3-1 first-leg success against Víkingur Reykjavík and forms part of an impressive recent sequence. Across their last five matches, Borac have collected four wins and one defeat, scoring an average of 1.8 goals while conceding only 0.6 per game.

Their Europa Conference League record also provides a positive foundation for this decisive fixture. Borac have registered three wins, one draw and one loss in the competition this season, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 1.0 conceded. Those figures reflect a side that has generally combined productive attacking performances with a controlled defensive output.

Home form is one of the clearest strengths in Borac’s profile. They have avoided defeat in 19 of their last 20 home matches and have scored at least once in each of their previous 13 fixtures on home ground. Their first-half numbers are equally notable: Borac have not been behind at the interval in their last 20 home games and have led at half-time in each of the most recent five.

The home side’s scoring pattern does not disappear after the break. At least one second-half goal has been recorded in 18 of Borac’s last 20 home matches. Across all venues, they have also avoided a half-time deficit in 30 of their previous 32 games and have been ahead at the interval in 12 of the last 19. Holding a two-goal aggregate cushion means Borac do not need to chase the tie recklessly, but their home scoring streak and first-half record show that they have regularly established control rather than simply waiting for matches to develop.

Víkingur Reykjavík Recent Form and Key Statistics

Víkingur Reykjavík responded to the first-leg setback by beating Valur 2-0 on August 23. Their overall recent form remains competitive, with three wins, one draw and one defeat from the last five matches. During that period they have averaged 2.4 goals scored per game, although an average of 1.8 conceded highlights the number of goals involved in their recent fixtures.

Their listed Europa Conference League season record stands at one defeat from one match, with averages of 1.0 goal scored and 3.0 conceded. That result was the 3-1 home loss to Borac, when Víkingur found the net but allowed their opponents to build the two-goal lead that now separates the teams on aggregate. The away side therefore enter the return leg knowing that another positive domestic result must be followed by a much stronger European performance.

Víkingur’s broader scoring data gives them some encouragement. They have scored at least once in 37 of their last 40 matches, suggesting that finding a goal in Foča is a realistic objective based on the supplied record. However, their away fixtures have repeatedly produced multiple goals rather than low-scoring contests. More than 1.5 total goals have been recorded in each of their last 20 away matches and in their last 12 games overall.

The second half has been especially active in Víkingur fixtures. At least one goal after the interval has occurred in their previous 31 matches, including all of their last 21 away games. Furthermore, 18 of their last 20 away matches have produced more than 1.5 second-half goals. Víkingur have not been behind at half-time in 18 of their last 20 Europa Conference League games, but they now require goals across the full contest rather than merely a competitive opening period.

Borac Banja Luka vs Víkingur Reykjavík Match Analysis

The aggregate situation is central to this Europa Conference League preview. Borac Banja Luka lead 3-1, meaning Víkingur Reykjavík must overcome a two-goal deficit away from home. The hosts can approach the match with the security earned in the opening leg, while the visitors have much less room to manage the contest cautiously.

Recent results point to confidence on both sides. Each team won 2-0 on August 23, while their five-match records contain only one defeat apiece. The distinction comes from Borac’s home consistency and their superior defensive average over that span: the hosts have conceded 0.6 goals per match compared with Víkingur’s 1.8. Borac’s run of scoring in 13 consecutive home games also increases the difficulty of Víkingur’s comeback task, as another home goal would add further pressure to the aggregate score.

There are nevertheless strong statistical reasons to expect attacking incidents. Víkingur have found the net in 37 of 40 matches, and their last 20 away fixtures have all contained at least two total goals. The last meeting itself finished 3-1, while both the BTTS Yes and Over 2.5 goals projections stand at 54%. Second-half scoring is another recurring theme for both teams, particularly in Víkingur’s away record.

The wider head-to-head summary is balanced at one win each, no draws, and averages of 1.5 goals scored and conceded. For this particular game, however, Borac’s 3-1 first-leg victory, run of 19 unbeaten results from 20 home matches and five consecutive half-time leads at home give them the clearer statistical platform. The supplied win probabilities assign Borac Banja Luka 46%, the draw 25% and Víkingur Reykjavík 29%, while the decimal match odds list the home win at 2.00, the draw at 3.80 and the away win at 3.00.
