KA Akureyri (home)
- KA Akureyri have won two, drawn four and lost four of their last ten games across all competitions.
- KA Akureyri have won once, drawn twice and lost twice in their last five matches.
- KA are a possession-based side playing a 4-2-3-1 system with a high line and a double pivot, which can look really good when it clicks but has been easily undone by teams pressing them hard and counter-attacking quickly.
- They come into this derby coming off a hard-fought 2-2 draw away at Fram Reykjavik and a gutsy 2-1 home victory over Breidablik.
- Hallgrímur Jónasson has been the man in charge of KA since 2 October 2022 and they have won just two, drawn one and lost two of their five home matches across all competitions, scoring eight goals at 1.60 per game.
Þór Akureyri (away)
- Þór Akureyri have won four, drawn two and lost four of their last ten matches across all competitions.
- Þór Akureyri arrive in stronger shape, having won their last 2 matches, a 0-1 away win and a 1-0 home victory, and there's enough in that record to suggest they could cause problems for the hosts on Saturday.
- Sigurður Heiðar Höskuldsson's men have won just one and lost two of their previous three away games, which isn't great form, but they are a more pragmatic, direct and counter-attacking side and might be the type to profit from a KA side that sits back too much when in possession and over-extends itself when chasing games.
Head-to-Head
The fact that Þór have failed to win either of their two previous away games against KA since the start of 2026 means the derby record is at one win apiece with one draw, which tips the odds a little in the favour of the hosts.
Key Players
Sigfus Gunnarsson has scored two of Þór's four goals in the last five games.
Betting Insights
- We're backing Þór to at least secure a point from this game and believe they are the best bet at 3.58.
- The draw is available at 4.15, while KA are the clear favorite at 1.81.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.32 and Both Teams to Score Yes at 1.36 leave little wiggle room for error.
Prediction
- We are going to side with the away team, who have the momentum right now, to get something from this matchup.
- KA's open style should suit Þór's counter-punching approach and they have conceded 12 goals in five away fixtures across all competitions, so there is plenty of space for KA to attack in.
