KA’s structure should hold up to FH’s press
Capital club FH Hafnarfjordur will host northern powerhouse KA Akureyri in a derby-style game that sees a classic tactical matchup of press-versus-structure on Sunday. Joey Gudjonsson’s men have favoured a high-tempo, direct 4-4-2 system in their opening games of the new season, aiming to win the ball high up the pitch and transition quickly.
The problem with this approach is highlighted in this FH Hafnarfjordur vs KA Akureyri preview, as it leaves them open to counterattacks and has shown vulnerability in both defence and at the back. Tomas Orri Robertsson has been the talisman for the hosts with four goals in his last three league games and four in his side’s last five.
FH sit 11th in the Besta deild karla 2026 with just two points from their opening six games, while KA are much further up in sixth with seven points from their first six matches.
Back the visitors to take the win

KA have won their last two matches, beating Thor Akureyri 0-1 away from home and IBV Vestmannaeyjar 2-0 at home. Hallgrimur Mar Steingrimsson has started the season in fine fashion, netting twice in his only league appearance so far and having scored half of his team’s goals across the last five.
