- KA have won four of the last five meetings between the clubs, and FH have failed to win their last two away games against KA.
- FH are unbeaten in five matches (W1, D4) and have become a draw specialist over that period.
- KA have won two, drawn one and lost five of their 8 home matches in the Besta deild karla 2026, scoring 1.38 and conceding 1.75 goals per game.
Bottom two clash has both teams in a spin
KA Akureyri vs FH Hafnarfjordur preview: KA Akureyri (15 points from 16 games) are in 10th place in the Besta deild karla 2026 table, one place and two points ahead of 11th-placed FH Hafnarfjordur (13 points from 16). So this Sunday's game at Akureyrarvoellur in Iceland is a bottom-half struggle with plenty to play for.
The hosts are the slight favorites here at 2.15, although FH at 2.86 is tempting and the draw at 3.86 has merit as well. KA have drawn their last two games, while FH have also drawn their last two, so the odds of another tight, cagey affair could be a factor.
Hallgrimur Jonasson has been in charge of KA since 2 October 2022 and has built a compact, transition-based team that can get a head of steam when the structure holds together and they can spring into space behind the opposition's high line. The problem is that they are not quite consistent enough to win many games and don't create enough to score three goals in most of them.
Hosts can win the battle of the bottom two
Steingrimsson is KA's main man with seven goals in 13 Besta deild karla 2026 appearances, but he has hit four of KA's eight goals in their last five. The hosts have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five, so they aren't in great form, but they aren't on a losing streak either.
KA Akureyri vs FH Hafnarfjordur prediction suggests Steingrimsson could once again be decisive, while Gislason is FH's sharpest finisher right now with four goals in 14 games, but he has contributed only two of his side's five goals in the last five. This is a team that has gone into a shell in the past month or so, as their three most recent results suggest - a 2-0 home win over Valur, a 0-0 home draw with Breidablik and a 0-0 away draw with Fram Reykjavik.
That's what Joey Gudjonsson, who took over at the start of 2026, has built, and it appears to be working - just not as well as it did a month ago. His side's away record in Besta deild karla 2026 is W1, D3, L4 and they concede 2.50 goals per away game, which should be enough to invite pressure in this one.
Sides should be well matched
Over 2.5 goals at 1.38 and both teams to score at 1.38 point to an open game, although the recent string of draws for both clubs and the clash of playing styles suggests this could end in a draw.
FH want to press high and get the ball wide, while KA will sit deep and look to counter. That should lead to plenty of ebb and flow, but there is a feeling that FH have been blunted in the final third lately and KA have the cutting edge in Steingrimsson on the counter-attack.
So, although KA are the likelier winner on home turf, FH's unbeaten run of late makes this a close game to call and the play-the-draw approach is preferred. KA Akureyri vs FH Hafnarfjordur betting tips point toward goals and a share of the spoils, and KA Akureyri vs FH Hafnarfjordur prediction also leans toward KA or tie with goals expected. KA have the edge in the head-to-head and FH are a fragile traveller, so the recommended bet is KA or tie with goals expected.
KA Akureyri vs FH Hafnarfjordur prediction remains that this should be a tight, competitive contest.
