Akranes’ Season Performance and Recent Form

Akranes has not participated in any European competitions and was swiftly eliminated from the Icelandic Cup. Currently, they concede an average of two goals per match. With only one draw to their name, the team from Akranes consistently creates problems for themselves in the dying minutes of games. Their home performances have been quite disappointing overall.

Afturelding’s League Position and Defensive Strategy

Afturelding’s Away Struggles and Recent Results

Even a victory wouldn’t lift Afturelding higher in the league table, which is quite disheartening. However, their away form is simply abysmal, with eight losses in ten matches played. On average, the team concedes 2.1 goals per game. Their recent performances have been a total nightmare, as they haven’t secured a win in ten league rounds. In their last home match, they lost to FH Hafnarfjordur, where their defense was in complete disarray, and their goalkeeper, Andresson, offered no significant saves.
