FH Hafnarfjordur vs Grindavik Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Saturday sees two of the Urvalsdeild’s top five clashing, as FH meet Grindavik. The fifth placed side host the team in fourth, with the pair aiming for a European finish. They’re narrowly outside the top three, as they chase down Breidablik, with just two points between third and fifth. The race for a Europa League spot continues in this clash, where Grindavik could essentially put FH out of the running. Can they claim an away victory this weekend?

The hosts are just coming off a home defeat, where they lost 3-2 to high flying Stjarnan. Losing to a side who had won six straight matches ahead of that clash is no great shame. It was a first home defeat of the season for FH, and they’ll be out to prevent any more damaging results when Grindavik visit. After winning four of their last five home encounters against this weekend’s visitors, it’s easy to see FH gaining a positive result when they return to action.

Grindavik were hammered 3-0 by IBV last time out, and that setback left them struggling in the race for third. They’re aiming to better their fifth placed finish from last term, but they’re taking on an FH side who were third overall last season. We expect this clash to be close, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to be a low scoring affair. The hosts have seen both teams score in 83% of their home matches, with the only game here which didn’t see both score finishing 3-0 to the hosts.

FH have seen four goals in total in half of their home matches so far, while they’ve scored in six straight Urvalsdeild outings. They take on a similarly talented team, but the hosts do have a historic edge over their opponents. They’ve racked up 13 goals in their last five matches at home against Grindavik, so we see them scoring a couple here, after hitting two per game on average at home this season.

We are likely to get a high scoring encounter on Saturday between these two, especially looking at how FH have been playing this season. The hosts have seen over 2.5 goals in 73% of their league games, so we’re backing at least three goals in this clash. Over 2.5 goals is our main tip in this encounter, while we’re expecting the hosts to return to winning ways with a 2-1 victory, after Grindavik’s latest defeat.
