Football Bet of the Day: Hosts to cause a KA crash

Haukar v KA Akureyri
Tuesday August 04, 20:15

Zamalek 0 Wadi Degla 0 last night, so our smiles weren't that wide after all. We're not walking like Egyptians, but instead we are shuffling away with tails firmly stuffed between legs.

We're retreating to a familiar haunt to lick our wounds, and taking in a game from the second tier of Icelandic football. Before you roll your eyes and say "not Iceland again", I promise it's worth a return to the frozen wastes.

Haukar are taking on KA Akureyri in a mid-table clash, and I suspect the hosts areoverpriced at 3.25. Haukar have played six home games this season, winning four and losing two. The games they lost at the Schenker Stadium were against the top two teams, Throttur Reykjavik and Vikingur Olafsvik. Those defeats are the only ones Haukar have suffered in their last seven league outings.

KA suffered a blow as they crashed out of the Icelandic Cup on penalties to Valur last week, and away from home they are really struggling to make an impact. They have collected a paltry point from their last four away matches, and they've only won twice on their travels all season.

Haukar have kept three clean sheets in six home games, and they are averaging 1.67 goals per game on home soil. Against a KA side that is enduring a rough trot on the road, they look too big at 3.25.

You could back the hosts outright, but the inflated price gives us scope to cover the draw by backing the hosts Draw No Bet at [2.41].
