- Team form: Fram Reykjavik are unbeaten in their last 5 league matches (W4, D1).
- Away stats: Fram Reykjavik have scored 7 goals in their 4 road games in the Besta deild karla 2026.
- Opposition form: KA Akureyri are in poor form with 3 defeats in their last 5 Besta deild karla 2026 matches.
Fram are finding their feet under Runar Kristinsson
Fram Reykjavik have a hoodoo to break when they visit Akureyri on Monday to take on KA Akureyri at Akureyrarvoellur. Fram have never won in their last 2 away trips to play KA in the Icelandic top-flight, but with 2 wins and a draw in their last 3 away matches, we expect Fram to break the jinx this time around.
Runar Kristinsson has made Fram difficult to beat and dangerous to oppose. Kristinsson is a system-first coach and has a disciplined team at Fram that can be very compact and have been good at stopping opponents from playing in central areas. They are capable of launching the ball forward on the break with purpose.
Fram enter this contest in great form, having won their last 2 matches – the most recent being an exciting 4-3 win at home to Breidablik. Fram are 3rd in the Besta deild karla 2026 table with 20 points from their first 9 games. The stats show they are going to be in the mix at the top end of the table this season.
KA’s wide and counter-play should challenge Fram
Tactical approach
A clash with KA should be intriguing as Hallgrimur Jonasson's team are all about width and counter-play. KA will usually employ a 4-2-3-1 system, and when they have the ball will stretch opponents wide and cause chaos in the box. When they do get it back, they are adept at picking off the opposition with quick counter-attacks.
Recent home form
KA have struggled at home in the 2026 season, however, with 1 win and 4 defeats from 5 matches at Akureyrarvoellur. They are on a 2-game losing streak, most recently at the hands of Valur Reykjavik at home and KR Reykjavik away.
An entertaining game should ensue
Although KA are in miserable form, they do dominate the recent head-to-head record with 5 straight wins over Fram, including a 2-0 victory at this ground last season. But the odds on this game are right as Fram have much more momentum in 2026 and can match the hosts in every area of the pitch.
Chopart has scored 5 of Fram's last 14 goals and is a standout pick for any correct score bets. KA score an average of 1.00 goals per home game and concede 1.60 per home game in the Besta deild karla 2026, so a 2-1 road win for Fram has legs.
- Kennie Chopart is in exceptional form for Fram with 6 goals in 3 league matches.
- Birgir Baldvinsson is KA's biggest threat with 2 goals in 2 league appearances in the Besta deild karla 2026 and we like the look of the following bet selections for Monday's game: Fram to win at 2.15, Over 2.5 goals at 1.36 and Both Teams to Score – Yes at 1.35.
