Icelandic eyes are on Hafnarfjordur this evening

"IA Akranes have scored in 7/8 away games this season"

Back Both Teams to Score @ 1.758/11 in Hafnarfjordur v IA Akranes

Second plays fourth in Iceland tonight and Tobias Gourlay's getting excited

Hafnarfjordur v IA Akranes
Tuesday 20:15

In Sweden yesterday, Orebro came from 0-2 down to draw 2-2 with IFK Goteborg and give us a winning start to the week.

We're sticking around northern Europe today. Second-placed Hafnarfjordur take on fourth-placed IA Akranes in Iceland's Urvalsdeild and we're hopeful they will serve up a few more goals.

Hafnarfjordur are W6-D1-L1 at Kaplakriki this term. They've scored in all eight of those matches, hitting two or more in 6/8. At the other end, however, they have also conceded in 6/8.

IA Akranes are W2-D4-L2 on the road this season. They haven't won any of the most recent five, but they have scored in 7/8 and should fancy their chances of at least getting on the score-sheet again tonight. Both teams have scored in 6/8 of those games and also in 6/8 head-to-heads with Hafnarfjordur since 2015. That's the outcome we're betting on today.
