Kopavogur take on the visitors Keflavik in the round 18 match of Besta Deild Karla. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 9th at Kórinn (Kópavogur).
Kopavogur are currently in the 8th position in the Premier League table and seems to be the favorite in the home match against the outsider. However, there is no confidence in the host's victory: the team hasn't won for five consecutive rounds, and in the last ten, they managed only one victory. For the last four league matches, Kopavogur have ended in a draw. In the previous round, they conceded a goal from KA Akureyri in the first half but equalized in the second. In the round before that, in a match against Stjarnan, they scored before halftime but couldn't secure the win. In all four halves, there was at least one goal, and both matches ended in a 1-1 draw.

Matches involving Keflavik are much more entertaining. This team scores quite a bit for the main league outsider and defensively, as expected from the weakest team, they struggle. As a result, there are rare halves involving this team that end goalless. In the last five matches with Keflavik's participation, this has not happened even once. Their clashes with Hafnarfjordur ended 0-2 and 2-1, with KA Akureyri 1-2 and 2-2, with Vestmannaeyjar 0-1 and 1-0, with Vikingur Reykjavik 2-2 and 1-1, and with KR Reykjavik 0-1 and 0-1.
This is a very challenging match both in terms of outcome and total goals. Both teams are inconsistent, and the balance here can tilt in either direction. The odds for over 2.5 or under 2.5 goals are too low, and there's not enough confidence for over 3.5 goals, especially since Kopavogur rarely scores that much against opponents in recent matches. Therefore, I will go for a less typical, but common for the Icelandic league, bet in this match - Both Teams to Score in Both Halves: Yes. We should see at least one accurate strike in each 45-minute period. This bet has won in four out of the last five head-to-head matches between the teams and in the last three such matches.
Prediction for the match: Goals in both halves – yes.
