Icelandic eyes are on Hafnarfjordur and Fjolnir tonight

"Olafur Kristjansson's hosts have seen each of their last seven league games deliver Over 2.5 Goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.705/7 in Hafnarfjordur v Fjolnir

After a successful weekend, Tobias Gourlay's headed to Hafnarfjordur in search of more goals

Hafnarfjordur v Fjolnir
Monday 20:15

LA Galaxy came from 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 down to beat Orlando City 4-3 in the MLS last night. That's a win for us too but, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring a second-half hat trick, we'll probably have to share the limelight a bit.

Monday morning brings a trip to Iceland for one of tonight's four matches in the 12-team Urvalsdeild. Sixth-placed Hafnarjfordur are hosting 10th-placed Fjolnir and we're expecting a few more goals. The reverse fixture finished 3-2 to Hafnarjfordur and last season's two meetings also went Over 2.5 Goals.

This term, Olafur Kristjansson's hosts have seen each of their last seven league games deliver Over 2.5 Goals. At Kaplakriki, it's 6/7 high scorers this season and we're betting on another one this evening. The home side have scored at least twice in each of their last four appearances there, but managed just one clean sheet since the start of the campaign.

Olafur Snorrason's Fjolnir have seen four of their last five away games go Over 2.5 Goals. They're yet to notch a clean sheet on the road but - seat belts on now - they have scored themselves in 5/6.
