Head-to-head statistics Vestmannaeyjar - Hafnarfjordur
IBV Vestmannaeyjar Team Overview
Vestmannaeyjar lost their last top-flight match away to Þór Akureyri, going down 1-0. The defeat came despite having the better of the statistics, with 61% possession and more shots - 15 to 11, including 5 to 3 on target.
Vestmannaeyjar's relegation was confirmed on 10 October when they lost narrowly to Thor. With 19 points, the club sit bottom of the survival group, and their last three-point haul came on 4 July - a home win against Valur. Manager Alexandar Linta was blunt in his assessment of the first half at Thor: "Basically, there wasn't a single player on the pitch with the attitude to try and play." The two remaining matches no longer affect the club's position, but the manager says the team will try to win them if they can. They came close against Hafnarfjördur in April: the hosts took the lead, but the visitors rescued a draw with just ten minutes to go. This time, Linta will be without Milan Tomić and Eidur Atli Runársson - according to the federation, both are suspended due to yellow card accumulation.

Corners Prediction
Matches involving Hafnarfjördur tend to produce plenty of corners: at least ten combined in 13 of their last 14 matches. Away from home the bar is even higher - at least 12 corners in 10 of their last 11 away matches. The bet only needs ten, so there is a solid margin. The pick is Total Corners - Over 9.5.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Head-to-head matches between Vestmannaeyjar and Hafnarfjörður almost always produce goals at both ends: both teams scored in 9 of their last 10 meetings. The current season reinforces that picture. Hafnarfjörður's attack is prolific, and Vestmannaeyjar's defence concedes heavily at home. We expect goals from both sides. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes.

Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines for the match: 1-1 (10.74%), 1-0 (9.87%) and 0-1 (8.63%). A 1-1 draw is considered the most probable outcome according to the calculations.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
In six consecutive head-to-head meetings, the total number of goals has been three or fewer. The hosts are also sparing in front of goal against other opponents: Vestmannaeyjar have not scored more than two goals in a match for 15 Besta-deild games. And Hafnarfjörður have reached three goals in just one of their last eight away matches - against Valur. We expect the seventh head-to-head meeting to also fall short of four goals. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.5. Predicted score: 1-1.
