Akranes vs Valur

In Akranes, ÍA host Valur in a sixth-versus-fifth clash, and the chosen market is both teams to score. The arguments start with the visitors, the league's most extreme team on results: ten games, five wins, five defeats and not a single draw, with 19 scored and 22 conceded. Valur almost always score, but their defence is a revolving door, as the 1-4 and 1-5 suffered at home against KR and Víkingur demonstrate, along with the 1-2 lost to modest Þór. ÍA are a 12-scored, 16-conceded side, but the key fact is their home record: on the scoresheet in every home game this season, with the 1-1, the 1-3 and the 2-2 confirming that in Akranes the home goal always arrives, even on off days. The crossing of a constant visiting attack with a defence that concedes to everyone, and of a modest but regular home attack with a permeable visiting back line, makes both teams to score a coherent reading. The risk is ÍA's limited firepower against a side capable of winning cleanly on the road. Confidence 5 out of 10: a well-founded forecast, but with fine margins.
