The Icelandic First Division matchup of Round 12 will feature a mid-table host team facing an underdog. Leiknir (6th place, 18 points) enters the game in good form, having won four of their last five matches, including a 2-1 victory over IR Reykjavik. Volsungur (12th place, seven points) is bottom of the table, and its defense remains one of the worst in the league, conceding 24 goals in 11 matches, but the team is unbeaten for three matches in a row.
A key factor in favor of a high-scoring game is the visitors' inconsistent defense. Volsungur concedes an average of 2.18 goals per game, and in away matches, this figure reaches 2.6. However, Leiknir has a consistent record of scoring at home: in three of their last five home matches, the total has exceeded 2.5 goals. The first-round head-to-head ended in a 1-1 draw, but since then, the teams' form has shifted toward a more open style of play.
Considering that Volsungur scores in 60% of their away matches, while Leiknir concedes in 40% of their home matches, the prediction seems logical. We expect both teams to score.
