A home win raises no questions, the only question is the margin. And Akranes at home keep it modest: they score no more than two goals in 9 of their last 10 home matches. Big scorelines in Akranes are a rarity in general.
Thor also know how to keep things tight: they shut Breiðablik out last round and have avoided heavy defeats in 6 of their last 7 matches. So even when they lose, it's by no more than one goal - and two goals will be enough for the hosts to get the job done. The bet is Akranes to score under 2.5 goals. Predicted score - 2:1.
