Skagamenn can hold out against the FH-ingar at ELKEM voellurinn
Two months after beating FH Hafnarfjordur 1-0 away, ÍA Akranes and the visitors go head-to-head again in the Besta deild karla 2026 this Sunday in what could be an open and lively match. The hosts are in their best form of the season, currently winning three, drawing one and losing one across their last five games and coming into this matchup on the back of a two-game winning streak.
Lárus Sigurdsson has done a pretty good job since his appointment as manager on 23 June 2025 and his side come into this game looking well drilled, patient and capable of carving through teams via intricate central combinations. Our IA Akranes vs FH Hafnarfjordur preview suggests that their two most recent results, a 2-0 home win over Thor Akureyri and a 3-1 away win at IBV Vestmannaeyjar, will give the Skagamenn plenty of confidence ahead of this game.
Joey Gudjonsson has done less well since taking over the visiting side at the start of 2026 - his high-pressing, high-tempo game is yet to produce results every week and they come into this one after a mixed five-game run of one win, three draws and one defeat. Their most recent result was a 1-0 win away at KA Akureyri, a result they followed with a 4-2 home defeat to Vikingur Reykjavik.
ÍA are the likelier winner with home advantage
Both teams have some attacking talent but the visitors are still looking for their star in the making. Markus Ellertsson is a big target for the home side with nine goals in 17 Besta deild karla 2026 matches and he is the main danger for ÍA. Isak Oli Olafsson has been the hottest spark for the FH-ingar, netting two of his side's four goals in the last five, but they could really use more end product from their forwards.
FH will try to press high and win the ball back quickly to get the ball into the attack, but we feel the IA Akranes vs FH Hafnarfjordur forecast points to ÍA will be the more likely winner this weekend because they have the momentum and the home advantage. At the same time, FH are capable of playing well when they click as a team, which means the game should not be one-sided. Odds of 2.14 for ÍA, 2.87 for FH and 3.88 for the draw do not seem to reflect these two teams' respective form and prospects very accurately, and IA Akranes vs FH Hafnarfjordur betting tips are leaning the same way, with the bookies' view on the matter.
Over 2.5 goals is 1.3 and Both Teams To Score Yes is 1.32, which suggests that this could be an intense and exciting matchup at ELKEM voellurinn. IA Akranes vs FH Hafnarfjordur prediction also supports the idea that both sides can contribute to the scoring.
