KA Akureyri had a weak start to the current season and are currently positioned only in tenth place on the table. However, it seems that the team, which stumbled at the start, is just beginning to gain momentum. In their last two league matches, the "yellow and blues" first secured a home win against Fram (3-2) and then an away victory over HK Kópavogur (2-1). Despite their league position, KA Akureyri have been good in attack, scoring 19 goals in 12 matches. However, they have also conceded 28 goals, indicating a rather porous defense even for the high-scoring Icelandic league. On average, matches involving KA Akureyri this season have seen even more goals than those of Hafnarfjörður—3.9 per game. Nine of their league matches have gone over 2.5 goals, and seven of those have gone over 3.5 goals.
This season, the hosts have performed noticeably better, but head-to-head meetings between the opponents have yielded mixed results. Therefore, I won't speculate on the match outcome. However, expecting a decent number of goals in this match seems reasonable. The Icelandic league is one of the highest-scoring leagues in Europe. Both teams have been good in attack this season, consistently scoring at least 3-4 goals combined with their opponents in recent matches. Neither side is suffering from significant personnel losses. The main players are in good form and ready to deliver another thrilling match. My prediction is Over 3 Goals. And to conclude, it’s worth noting that in the last five head-to-head encounters, FH Hafnarfjörður and KA Akureyri have together scored at least three goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
