Afturelding hosts Akureyri in a match between two teams at the bottom of the Icelandic league table. Despite their modest positions in the standings, both teams have demonstrated high-scoring play in recent matches. The hosts have scored seven goals in their last three matches, but conceded eight. The visitors have won their three-game series 10-7.
Head-to-head meetings between these teams are always a goal-scoring extravaganza. Eleven goals have been scored in the last three encounters: 3-3, 3-2, and 3-0. Both clubs play attacking football, favoring offensive strength over defensive reliability, especially when they have nothing to lose late in the season.
The vulnerability of both teams' defenses, their attacking philosophies, and their head-to-head history strongly favor an over/under. This match promises to be a high-scoring one.
