Recent meetings between these clubs have been closely contested. IA Akranes have historically enjoyed the upper hand, but the overall record remains fairly balanced, with IA leading the recent head-to-head series by six wins to five alongside three draws. Speaking of IA's home record in this fixture, they have won two of their last three head-to-head meetings at Akranesvöllur.
IA Akranes team overview
IA Akranes have produced mixed results throughout the opening 11 rounds. Their recent league form includes victories over FH and Valur but also defeats to Vikingur Reykjavik and KR Reykjavik, the latter ending in a disappointing 5-3 loss despite IA finding the net three times.
Johannes Vall has been one of IA's key creative players, producing the most big chances in the squad this season, while Markus Pall Ellertsson leads the goalscoring charts with six goals in 11 appearances. Those two will again be central to IA's hopes of troubling Fram's defence.
On the injury front, no major new absentees have been reported ahead of Monday's fixture, although final squad availability will only become clear once the official matchday line-ups are announced.

Fram Reykjavik team overview
Fram have been one of the league's surprise packages during the opening third of the season. Sitting third with 23 points, they have won three of their last four league matches, including impressive victories away to Stjarnan and KA Akureyri, while also defeating Breidablik in a thrilling 4-3 contest.
Their momentum was halted by a heavy 5-0 defeat against leaders Vikingur Reykjavik, but their overall form remains among the strongest in the division. Fram have scored 11 goals in their previous five league matches and currently boast one of the league's best away records. However, they also possess the league's joint-third worst defensive record, having already conceded 24 goals in 11 league fixtures.
Atli Thor Jonasson is Fram’s most prolific goalscorer this season with five goals in 11 league appearances. Like their opponents, Fram have not reported any significant fresh injury concerns in the build-up to this fixture, although late fitness checks remain possible before kick-off.

Prediction
This fixture has all the ingredients for another entertaining Icelandic league encounter. IA Akranes have been competitive at home and possess enough attacking quality to score, but Fram arrive in considerably better overall form and have impressed away from home throughout the campaign. With both teams regularly finding the net while also conceding chances heavily, goals at both ends look likely.
Prediction: Over 3.5 Goals.
Three reasons we expect Over 3.5 Goals
- Over 3.5 goals has landed in seven of Fram's last eight league fixtures.
- Over 3.5 goals has been the outcome in three of Fram's last four away league fixtures.
- Two of the last four league meetings between the sides have also produced over 3.5 goals.
