Vikingur Reykjavik vs IA Akranes Best odds and tips

Vikingur have made a strong start to Besta deild karla 2024/2025, sitting second in the table with 16 points from eight games. Soelvi Ottesen took over at the helm from January 2025 and has immediately instilled organized, possession-focused tactics on the team with a well-organised midfield and clinical finishers. Recent results have shown that they are on the up, as they produced a 3-2 home comeback against 6291, followed by a convincing 3-1 victory over FH Hafnarfjordur at home and a 2-2 away draw against Stjarnan. Erlingur Agnarsson has been Vikingur’s most reliable player with two goals in two league games, while Daniel Hafsteinsson has been a consistent threat in front of goal with three goals in their past five games. Our Vikingur Reykjavik vs IA Akranes prediction highlights that Akranes are fifth in the standings with only six points from their nine Besta deild karla games. Jon Thor Hauksson, who has been in charge since 2022, is sticking with his pragmatic, counterattack-driven system, which is not bearing fruit. Akranes have lost four and won just one of their last 5 league games and were recently beaten 6-1 away to Valur and 3-1 at home to FH Hafnarfjordur. Viktor Jonsson has been in good form for Akranes recently, netting four of their past 5 goals, but they have only scored three goals in their six away games this season. Hinrik Hardarson has been a reliable forward for Akranes this season with two in five.

IA Akranes will look to be disciplined in their approach and try to hit Vikingur Reykjavik on the break with pace. However, the hosts will control possession and look to wear IA Akranes down with a game of pinpoint football.
