IBV Vestmannaeyjar vs KA Akureyri Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

IBV will be out to end their recent struggles, following their exit from the Europa League. They’ve slipped in to danger following recent results, which is something they’ll be desperate to turn around this weekend. Can they return to winning ways by seeing off KA on Sunday? The visitors come here full of confidence following their recent results, and have to be targeting all three points in this Urvalsdeild encounter.

The hosts drew 1-1 with Fjolnir last time out, and that left them in ninth place in the Urvalsdeild, just two points clear of the drop zone. They’ve got real concerns surrounding their recent form, especially after crashing out of the Europa League at the first hurdle. They were eliminated 6-0 on aggregate by Sarpsborg, and that blow seemed to feed in to their weekend slip up against Fjolnir. Will they return to winning ways in this home clash, despite mixed results here so far?

IBV have claimed two victories in their six home matches so far, which has got to influence a KA side who will be expecting to get something out of this trip. The hosts have now won one of their last six in the league, on top of their European struggles. That’s only boosted their fears of dropping in to the second tier, and with a below average home record we expect IBV to have another tough time in this weekend’s game.

The visitors have been scoring plenty of goals this season – with 21 in 13 matches – but they were looking for consistency to boost them up the table. That’s kicked in of late, with the visitors moving away from danger after a string of recent successes. They have won three games on the spin ahead of this clash, and that has moved them seven points clear of the drop zone, and puts them on course for another positive result in this visit to IBV.

KA’s form has come from their great scoring record, and they’ve managed to score nine times in their last three outings, conceding just twice. Their last trip saw them triumph against a Grindavik side who were pushing for a European place, so this must seem like an easier task for the away side. We expect KA to impress with a strong display in this trip, and with IBV struggling for wins we have to side with the in form team in this one. We’re backing a victory for KA, who look like great value on the Draw No Bet market against a side who have won three times in 15 matches.
