Both teams are at the bottom of the standings and desperately need points. Keflavik is in 7th place, while its opponent is in 10th. In this situation, the teams are unlikely to play a closed-off style, creating the conditions for open and high-scoring football.
Keflavík's defense has been prone to problems: they have conceded in six of their last eight matches. However, their attack consistently scores, and the hosts have found the net in seven consecutive matches. Akureyri is also not known for its defensive reliability, and head-to-head statistics suggest that the teams frequently trade goals—four of their last five matches have been "both teams to score."
Taking all these factors into account, we can expect the teams to play attacking football. The desire to improve their position in the standings and the defensive problems on both sides increase the likelihood of goals from both sides.
