KA Akureyri vs Vestmannaeyjar Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 24 October 2026
🔊 On Saturday, one of Akureyri's two clubs will drop out of Besta-deild, and right now it is KA who sit in the relegation zone. Their neighbours Thor are a point ahead and play away at FH at the same time. KA themselves host Vestmannaeyjar, who were condemned two weeks ago. But the visitors have nothing to lose: last round, Vestmannaeyjar won for the first time in three months. Will KA do their part?
Head-to-Head
Akureyri and Vestmannaeyjar drew 2-2 in their most recent top-flight meeting. Akureyri led 1-0 at half-time, but the hosts levelled, and despite a possession split of 64% to 36%, both sides managed an equal number of shots on target - five each.
Across 20 head-to-head meetings, Akureyri have won 10 times and Vestmannaeyjar six, with four draws. The difference is particularly pronounced at Akureyri's ground, where they have won eight of 10 matches and lost two.
Head-to-head statistics KA Akureyri - Vestmannaeyjar
Akureyri Team Overview
In their last top-flight match, Akureyri lost 1-4 away to Valur Reykjavík. Level at 1-1 at half-time, the visitors held more possession - 58% - but were well beaten on shots on target, 3 against 10.
On 10 October, KA still had their fate in their own hands. That day they thrashed Stjarnan away from home and kept a two-point lead over Thor. A week later everything changed: KA lost 1-4 to Valur, while Thor won their match. There was still hope at half-time - Adam Aegir Paulsson, who had joined KA from Valur in the summer, equalised. But the hosts scored three times in the second half. KA now have 26 points and sit eleventh, second from bottom.

IBV Vestmannaeyjar Team Overview
In the previous round, Vestmannaeyjar beat Hafnarfjörður 3-1. The hosts scored three times from three shots on target, despite their opponents outshoooting them overall - 16 shots to 10.
Vestmannaeyjar were relegated from the Besta-deild prematurely. On 10 October they lost to Þór, and their drop after two seasons in the top flight was confirmed. But they refused to give up and beat FH 3-1, despite playing with ten men from the first half. After the match, manager Alexandar Linta bemoaned injuries and suspensions at the wrong moments. "We could quite easily have had four more points and still been fighting for our place in the league," he admitted. The absences continue ahead of the trip to Akureyri: both Felix Eðn Friðriksson and Bjarki Björn Gunnarsson, who was sent off against FH, will miss the match.

Total Goals Prediction
Akureyri's matches have featured at least three goals in eight consecutive games. The hosts score freely and concede plenty, and Vestmannaeyjar's defence is not particularly reliable either. We don't expect this one to stay at two goals. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5.
Corners Prediction
Akureyri have taken more than six corners in just one of their last seven matches. We don't expect the hosts to reach seven here. The bet is Akureyri Team Total Corners - Under 6.5.
Correct Score Prediction
The three most likely correct scores are 2-1 (10.02%), 1-1 (8.84%) and 1-0 (7.49%), with 2-1 the most probable of the three.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Vestmannaeyjar rarely lose heavily. In 6 of their last 7 Besta-deild matches, they have been beaten by no more than one goal. The one exception came on 13 September, when Stjarnan won by a two-goal margin. The head-to-head record tells a similar story. KA have not lost to this opponent in their last five meetings, but they have managed a two-goal winning margin only once. On top of that, a big win is not what KA need: if the hosts take three points, their fate will depend solely on whether Thor beat FH away. The hosts will do their part, but they will not put the already-relegated visitors to the sword. The bet is Vestmannaeyjar with a handicap (+1.5).
Will this prediction come true?
