In addition, the last three h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Both teams have been scoring a decent number of goals in recent weeks. The hosts have scored at least two goals in nine of their last ten home matches. While the visitors have scored twelve goals in their past six away matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Hafnarfjordur have a great home record heading into the match. They have won two of their three league matches this season. They also have a strong recent record against Akureyri at this venue. Furthermore, Akureyri has had a poor away record going into the match.
A victory for Hafnarfjordur at 1.83 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Going on, Hafnarfjordur has now scored two or more goals in nine of the last nine home matches. Meanwhile, Akureyri has also demonstrated defensive flaws and conceded two or more goals in each of their last five away matches. Therefore, over 1.5 team goals by Hafnarfjordur would be a great pick at 1.66 odd.
