Valur vs KA Akureyri Match Preview

Valur has made a very good start to the new season as they are ranked first with 19 points and come after four wins and a single draw over the last five matches. With 21 goals scored so far, they have the best attack in the league averaging at least two goals per game. In the last five matches, they have scored 13 goals managing to find the back of the net in four outings.

At home, they haven't been so great winning just one out of four duels and this could be the time to try and improve this record. History is on their side as they have won all the last five h2h games played at home against KA Akureyri.

KA Akureyri, on the other hand, is ranked at the 9th place with 8 points. They come after just a win three draws and a loss over the last five matches and are in need of points in order to keep the distance from the relegation zone. In the last five matches, they have scored just three goals and now will need to improve on this if they want to hope for a positive result.

Considering they are also out of the Cup I expect them to fully focus on the league now. They managed to score a goal in two out of three games played on the road so far so this trend can continue.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Valur is the big favorite here and I guess they will try to score from the start. Four of the last five official h2h games between them had over 2.5 goals with Valur scoring nine goals in total. KA Akureyri has got to try and score here if they want to try and earn a point.
