KA Akureyri vs Vikingur Reykjavik Predictions

KA have twelve points on the board from their opening eight matches, which is enough to place them fifth in the Urvalsdeild table and as little as a draw could move them into the top four this weekend. The visitors Vikingur Reykjavik sit one place above the relegation zone having managed to pick up just seven points from their first eight games and anything but a win this weekend could see them slip into the bottom two.

A strike from Steingrímsson on the stroke of halftime handed KA the lead at home to Grindavik last weekend, but the visitors got themselves back on level terms in the sixty-sixth minute. However, KA responded well and within five minutes the hosts were back in front thanks to a goal from Aðal­steins­son, which proved enough to claim all three points. Vikingur Reykjavik took the lead at home to HK in the eleventh minute through Andrason but the visitors equalised fifteen minutes later. Agnarsson restored the host’s lead shortly before the break and despite having Magnusson sent off in second-half stoppage time, the hosts held on to secure all three points.

The recent head to head record between these two clubs and their form and performances over the last month suggests that both teams will score on Sunday and that KA are best placed to win the game. Both teams scored in four of the last five meetings between these two clubs and KA have won two of the last four encounters. KA have only failed to score in two of their last six matches, while both teams have scored in four of Vikingur Reykjavik’s last six matches. KA have won three of their last five matches in all competitions, which is why we’re backing the hosts to claim a 2-1 win this weekend.

Steingrímsson and Aðal­steins­son joint top score for KA this season with three league goals apiece, while Hansen leads the way for the visitors and also has three goals to his name. We’re confident that both teams will score on Sunday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 to KA. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites and with two wins against Vikingur Reykjavik in their last four meetings.
