GOALS may well be the route to success for this evening’s picks and I’m taking on two Icelandic Cup games featuring 1 Deild sides playing host to top-flight opposition…
HAUKAR VS. BREIDABLIK (6.00pm)
Haukar’s 2019 cup exploits have been pretty rank thus far and, with 3 consecutive losses, I can’t see them having too much luck against tonight’s visitors!
Briedablik were one of the highest performing sides in last year’s Urvalsdeild campaign and have looked bright in their pre-season cup matches having hit 4-2-3-2-5-1-4-4-2-3 team goals in a run that sees them undefeated in 10 and looking for a 7th consecutive win.
These two haven’t met in nearly a decade so H2H’s are pretty meaningless but for me, it’s all about the intent of Briedablik who have the potential to carve open Haukar.
Recommended Bets
- Briedablik over 2.5 team goals
- (8/11, bet365) 4 Points
- Briedablik over 3.5 team goals
- (7/4, bet365) 1 Point
GRÓTTA VS. FH (7.00pm):
Grotta head into this one after a successful reinstatement back into 1 Deild and the knowledge that although they can’t match FH in terms of stature, they may just be able to probe that ‘ever so vulnerable’ defence and find a way onto the scoresheet.
The hosts managed to hit 2 past Vikingur in their last cup game and that bodes well as they take on an FH side who are living up to my expectations and have conceded in 5 of their own last 6 games!
Both sides scoring in a game with such a quality mismatch is always a risk but I’ve highlighted FH time and again and it’s rare they let me down – throw in the fact that their last 4 matches have seen 4-4-5-5 goals and tjere’s certainly potential for value.
Recommended bet
- Both teams & over 2.5 goals
- (1/1, bet365) 3 Points
Best of luck!
