Akranes vs Fylkir tips and predictions

Fylkir contemplating Pepsideild defeat?

The jury's still out on this one but it should be a good game.

Make of it what you will but Akranes might have reasons to be confident about adding to Fylkir's woes. This group of away players come into the match with 4 losses from their last 5 matches. Obviously they've had different opposition but that doesn't sound like the record of a winning team.

This home squad is in some form. Akranes have scored two or more goals in 13 of their recent 20 home matches.

Fylkir lacked rearguard reliability in some of their recent trips. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 17 away matches. If all is not well it might not only be in defence. The visitors have not scored goals in all of their last 5 matches. Perhaps this is a sign that they are feeling handcuffed in possession.

Akranes have won 3 of the last 5 fixtures between these sides. Maybe the form book can go out the window, but the head-to-head stats show how well they have done before.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the quickest out of the blocks. Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they could be well matched. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value on this occasion.
