FH’s form has manager facing his toughest test to date
Our FH Hafnarfjordur vs IA Akranes prediction is that the home matchup on Friday will be a big test for manager Joey Gudjonsson, who has instilled a high-press, high-tempo system upon the club since his appointment in January 2026. The hosts have lost both their games at home this term, conceding four goals and scoring four, while they sit 11th in Besta deild karla 2026 with only two points from eight games.
They have lost their last three and are five without a win. FH lost 1-2 at home to KA Akureyri and were thumped 5-0 away at Vikingur Reykjavik in their last two outings.
IA Akranes are in good form in 2026, winning three, drawing one and losing just one in their last five in all competitions. Larus Sigurdsson’s side have a solid defensive base and are very good on the counter-attack with their direct wide players. The FH Hafnarfjordur vs IA Akranes preview will focus on whether IA’s structure can counter FH’s aggressive pressing style.
IA are in better form than their hosts
IA are 8th in Besta deild karla 2026 with 9 points from their opening 8 games and have conceded 10 goals in 5 away games so far.
IA have had two notable recent results: beating Thor Akureyri 2-1 away and drawing 2-2 at home with IBV Vestmannaeyjar, but they have failed to win on their last two trips to Hafnarfjordur.
The FH Hafnarfjordur vs IA Akranes prediction indicates that FH are struggling right now, but still have a tendency to leave holes in the defense and concede chances for the opposition. IA have the skill and experience at the top to capitalise on that and should have enough to win on Friday. This FH Hafnarfjordur vs IA Akranes betting tips section recommends IA to get the win at 2.21 as a good value wager for the fixture with BTTS & over 2.5 goals at 1.35 also appealing.
Tomas Orri Robertsson has been in exceptional form for FH with four goals in three Besta deild karla 2026 games so they will always get chances.
IA’s Markus Ellertsson is in red-hot form right now with 6 goals in his last 3 league games and should lead the line again with 3 goals in his last 5 for the club.
IA are a pragmatic team with a solid structure while FH are the aggressive, proactive pressers, so this will be an open match. Both teams are strong in attack and vulnerable in defence, so we are likely to see chances at both ends and plenty of end-to-end action.
