⭐ Editor's Pick
Akranes have not beaten this opponent at home in 13 of their last 15 top-flight head-to-head meetings. That can't be put down to defence alone - the hosts have conceded in 16 of their last 17 home matches. Hafnarfjörður will almost certainly get on the scoresheet. The visitors are also unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 league matches. There's a gap in the table, but very little gap in quality. The pick is Hafnarfjörður not to lose. Predicted score: 1-1.
