Just over two weeks ago, this duel was already in the league with a clear exit for the favorites. Also this time?
Hafnarfjördur:
The FH Hafnarfjördur is still one of the more well-known teams in admittedly footballing but rather limited Icelandic club football. Eight championship titles are on Hafnarfjördur’s track, with the club winning the last two in 2015 and 2016. After a somewhat disappointing third place in the preseason, 15 points behind champions Valur Reykjavik, Hafnarfjördur is likely to play for the title again this season , It is still early in the season. After six games Hafnarfjördur comes up with three wins, two draws and one defeat. With eleven points Hafnarfjördur is only due to the poorer goal ratio behind the tied teams of Breidablik UBK and UMF Grindavík in third place. At the weekend Hafnarfjördur could not use the mistakes of the two leaders to climb the table top. Against Fylkir Reykjavik Hafnarfjördur did not get beyond a 1: 1 at home. In the home stadium Hafnarfjördur comes after three previously completed games on each a win, a draw and a loss to the current leader Breidablik. Last year, Hafnarfjördur reached the final of the cup competition, but narrowly failed there with 0: 1 to IBV Vestmannaeyjar.
KA Akureyri:
The KA Akureyri is after long abstinence until the last season again ascended to the highest Icelandic league and was able to hold the league in the end. In the final statement KA Akureyri ranked seven out of twelve and was never at risk of a possible relegation. It’s still too early to say where KA Akureyri’s journey is going this season. But the fact is: Currently KA Akureyri is only in tenth place out of twelve. Only one conceded goal less holds the club currently away from the first relegation rank eleven. After six matchdays, there is a record of just one win, two draws and already three defeats. However, KA Akureyri was only allowed to play at home twice, where the club is undefeated so far, and thanks to a win and a draw, they have taken four of the five points they have achieved so far. Away KA Akureyri had to play four times and lost on the opponent’s place three games. Only in the first away game KA Akureyri managed to get a point, the subsequent three league games in stadiums other foreigner lost the club then in series. So KA Akureyri is currently the weakest away team of the highest Icelandic league.
PREDICTION: Hafnarfjordur to win @ 1.80
