KA Akureyri vs Valur Reykjavík Prediction: Who will advance to the finals?

The stage is set for the semi-final clash of the Iceland Cup as KA Akureyri slug it out against Valur Reykjavík. The winner of this clash will face the winner between Vikingur Reykjavik and Stjarnan. Meanwhile, Valur have won the last four games against KA Akureyri. Can they win again? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

KA Akureyri made it to this semi-final phase after recording a 3-0 win over Fram in the quarter-final. Bjarni Adalsteinsson scored the first goal of the game in the 6th minute before he scored the second in the 78th minute. Hallgrimur Steingrimsson scored the third goal of the game in the 89th minute. KA Akureyri controlled the game from start to finish with 61% possession of the ball, and 8 of their 18 shots were on target. Akureyri’s overall form has not been bad, as they have won 3 of their last four games. They are also unbeaten in 6 of their last seven games at home.

Valur defeated Keflavik 5-3 on penalties in the quarterfinals after the extra time ended 3-3. Patrick Pedersen and Jonathan Ingi Jonsson were all on the scoreboard. Valur had 57% possession of the ball in the game and saw 9 of their 17 shots on target. However, they lost their last game in the league 3-2 to Akranes, and the loss was their first in their previous 12 games.

Both sides have met 19 times since 2017. KA won 5, Valur won 10, and 4 ended in draws. The last game between the two sides ended in a 3-1 win for Valur.

Valur remain one of the best teams in Icelandic football, and that supremacy will see them through here. They have lost just once in their last 12 outings in all competitions. Playing against KA hasn’t been an issue for Valur, as they have won their last four games against the Akureyri side. Notwithstanding, both sides will score in this clash, and I expect goals to start coming in the first 45 minutes of the game.
