Football Bet of the Day: Another Vikingur bloodbath in Iceland

IA Akranes v Vikingur Reykjavik
Monday 21:00

Valur showed none of the valour Kev was hoping to see in Iceland yesterday evening, as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Stjarnan. Sources tell us Stjarnan's opener was scored in 45+4th minute. Nonetheless, our man has signed off on a profitable week, and now we just await report on the justice - or otherwise - of the ref playing so much extra time last night.

Meantime, we pick up exactly where he left off - in Iceland. Tonight's Urvalsdeild game pits IA Akranes at home to Vikingur Reykjavik. The hosts are bottom of the table, having lost 4/5 at Akranesvollur, but those games have not been as one sided as you might imagine.

There have been no fewer than 26 goals in those five games this season - and 11 of them have gone to Gunnlaugur Jonsson's home side, who have scored at least twice in each individual match. All five went Over 3.5 Goals in total and, at an odds-against price, there's good support for that bet coming from the away changing room too.

Home and away, Vikingur Reykjavik have scored at least twice in six consecutive league matches. Olafur Thordarson's visitors are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road this season, and half of those six matches have delivered the Over 3.5 Goals we're looking for again today.
