ÍBV look to make a comeback on KA
ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar have failed to win either of their last two home matches against KA Akureyri, so the visitors have their number at the moment. However, the home side look in the better form heading into Sunday's match-up at Torfnesvoellur.
Aleksandar Linta's ÍBV have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five in all competitions, while KA come into this clash in mixed-to-poor form, having won just once in five and lost the other four.
ÍBV's recent form and the fact they are at home makes them slim favorites at 2.29 to KA's 2.66, but there are better odds to be had by siding with the draw at 3.75. The home team are 8th in the Besta deild karla 2026 with 15 points from 14 games, while KA are 10th with 13 points. It looks to be a mid-table clash where each side needs to be wary of losing as much as they do winning.
KA are the more positive and dangerous side
Match pattern and form
Both teams have been involved in some high-scoring matches recently, with KA's last two results being a 3-2 loss at Víkingur and a 3-2 home victory over IA. The goals have also been flowing at both ends for ÍBV, who have been scoring 1.86 and conceding 1.86 per game at home this season, winning three, drawing one and losing three of their seven games.
Tactics
Hallgrímur Jónasson's men are a little more positive than their opponents, who use a 4-2-3-1 system with a double pivot, quick vertical transitions and wide support. KA will try to keep things tight, but are more than capable of springing a counter.
Players to watch
- Hallgrímur Már Steingrímsson is KA's talisman in the Besta deild karla 2026, bagging six goals in two matches this season.
- He has scored four of KA's nine goals in the last five matches, so is a solid anytime scorer bet at 2/1.
- Robert Elís Hlynsson has been ÍBV's biggest threat, scoring four times in four games, while Bjarki Gunnarsson has three in five, so there is a slight edge for the hosts here.
