I’M leaving the torrential monsoons of Humberside for the relatively balmy conditions in Reykjavik where it’s sunny and a few degrees warmer than it is here…
FJÖLNIR VS. VÍKINGUR ÓLAFSVÍK
It’s not too bad a card in this evening’s 2nd tier but one game looks to have the edge for goals as two of the Urvalsdeild’s old foes come head to head in a bid to reclaim their places in the Icelandic top-flight!
It was only a couple of seasons ago that Fjolnir were getting some cracking results within the Urvalsdeild and some of the members in that squad are still playing so they are a team with decent pedigree which is reflected in their current standing as top side having gained 13 points from their 6 games thus far.
Vikingur Olafsvik will be right up there come the season end and, having played one less, have harvested 10 points from their own 5 games – I reckon they will get on the scoresheet here although Fjolnir are pretty keen at home with wins of 1-0, 4-1 and 3-1 at home along with an impressive 2-2 draw with Valur in the League Cup.
H2H-wise, this one has plenty of history with 6 matchups within the last 4 years; scorelines of 2-3 in last season’s 1 Deild were preceded with some Urvalsdeild crackers of 4-4, 1-1, 2-2, 5-1 and 4-0!
I reckon these two will produce a tasty encounter with a few goals thrown in for good measure – bet365 offer 13/8 for this pick (under the Betbuilder tab) but Coral’s 7/4 for 4 or more is too tempting to turn down:
Recommended Bets
- Over 3.5 match goals
- (Coral, 7/4) NAP
- Both teams to score both halves
- (10/1, Coral) NB
