Football Bet of the Day: Another grotty result for Grotta

Hosts to stumble again

Grotta v Breidablik
Friday 21 August, 20:15

We believed in Fjolnir when no-one else would, and one of Iceland's capital clubs finally ended their losing run at home, as they drew 1-1 with local rivals Vikingur Reykjavik. After that successful lay bet, Iceland is starting to agree with us, so we'll stay here and take in another game from the top-level Urvalsdeild.

High-flying Breidablik are visiting struggling Grotta, and the visitors have already suggested they can comfortably beat tonight's opponents. The two teams have already met in league and cup, and Breidablik won 3-0 on both occasions, although it's worth noting that both of those games were at their Kopavogsvollur ground.

Breidablik are on strong form, having won their last three competitive matches. That 3-0 cup win over tonight's opponents was sandwiched by a 5-3 success against IA and a 4-2 victory at Vikingur. Interestingly for our purposes, both teams have scored in eight of their last ten games.

Grotta have only won one of their league games so far, and they have lost six out of ten in the Urvalsdeild. At least their goalscoring has picked up - they drew a blank in their first three games of the campaign, but have since scored in five out of seven in the league.

Breidablik should once again be too strong for Grotta, but I think the hosts can score at some stage. I'll back Breidablik to win and both teams to score at 2.17 on the Sportsbook.
