Breidablik vs KA Akureyri Predictions

Breidablik win at 3/5 – ★★★

Breidablik to win 2-0 at 15/2 – ★☆☆

• Breidablik have won 14 of their last 15 home league games.
• KA Akureyri conceded exactly twice in four of the last five H2H meetings.
• Visiting manager Arnar Gretarsson has never beaten Breidablik after four attempts (D1, L3).

Breidablik’s title revenge is on

After missing out on the title by a single point last term, Breidablik have started this season with a vengeance, winning all but the most recent outing (W8, L1). The hosts weren’t exactly disgraced in that defeat either, after pulling back a two-goal deficit only to fall to a painful 94th-minute winner.

A draw would be a shocking result here given that Breidablik have not ended a home game level in over an entire calendar year. In fact, they have defeated every single Icelandic team to visit during that time, so the slightly odds-on price on the home win must be seen as value given their incredible domestic consistency.

Akureyri looking to cause an upset

The visitors had made a stunning start to their away league campaign, keeping three consecutive travelling clean sheets before ultimately falling to their first defeat in the most recent trip, a 2-1 loss against reigning champions Vikingur Reykjavik.

We expect the visitors to face a similarly difficult challenge in this trip as Breidablik desperately try and overturn Vikingur’s recent dominance of the league. As such, we predict a home win in this encounter at a short, yet fair price given that the hosts are currently on a 20 game winning run at home to Icelandic opponents.

As for the correct score, we are sticking with a 2-0 Breidablik win, the same scoreline as in the last two meetings between the clubs.
