Vikingur Reykjavik hosts Akranes in round 11 of the Icelandic Pepsideild. The match will be played on Monday, July 5th at Víkingsvöllur (Reykjavík)
At the beginning of the current season, Vikingur Reykjavik was not considered as one of the favorites of the tournament. Vikingur usually has the status of a middle peasant. However, Arnar Gunnlaugsson's charges managed to surprise analysts. They take intermediate 3rd place in the standings, lag only eight points behind the leader (with two games in hand), and have real prospects of winning medals in the championship. The club from Reykjavik plays in a defensive style and shows a high level of reliability (nine conceded goals). Vikingur's human resources are not impressive and are far from those of grandees of national football. But the team is at a high level of tactical readiness. The club's leading performers include Punyed, N. Hansen, and Ottesen.

The poor tournament performance of Akranes is dictated by the level of game organization and the quality of personnel. Akranes occupies an intermediate last place in the standings. It scored only six points and gained one victory in 10 games played. Joey Gudjonsson's men have the worst defensive reliability in the Premier League (22 conceded goals). Akranes has a minimum of legionnaires and really skilled footballers. Among the team's players, only V. Jonsson and Palsson can be singled out, who ensure the sharpness of the team in attacking actions. But the line of defense needs personnel reorganization and tactical changes.
The upcoming match will be held with the advantage of the hosts, who are in the leading group of the Icelandic championship. Vikingur has a strong lineup against the background of the opponents and will gain a home victory. But it is definitely not worth waiting for high production.
Prediction for the match: Vikingur Reykjavik to win and Under 3.5 goals scored
