- Diego Montiel is their chief creator, a live wire who can find space and time on the ball to unlock defences.
- The visitors have some physical players, including midfield controller Fatai Gbadamosi, who could disrupt KA’s play and create a few chances for Vestri to nick the game.
- The fact that the Akureyri club will be without goalkeeper Jonathan Rasheed because of a serious knee injury makes us wary of backing them, however.
