Thor Akureyri vs Throttur Reykjavik Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals / BTTS

Icelandic second division action (1. delid karla) returns to Þórsvöllur, Akureyri this week as Thor Akureyri takes on Throttur Reykjavik.

Thor Akureyri return to home comforts after securing back-to-back league victories with a crushing 5:0 win at Fjölnir last week. Ibrahima Balde´s hat-trick secured a commanding win for the Þórsarar.

High-scoring outcomes have been frequent for the home side. Eight of their last ten league matches saw a minimum of three goals scored. An average of exactly four goals per game were scored in those fixtures and we should be set for more of the same this week.

Throttur Reykjavik come into this 1. deild karla contest after an entertaining 2:2 draw against Kopavogur. Placed fourth in the division, two points behind Thor Akureyri have struggled to find their best form in recent weeks, with only one win picked up in five previous league fixtures. 

While the visitors have been unable to find too many winning performances of late, high-scoring outcomes have been frequent. A minimum of three goals were scored in all but one of their last nine matches. All of those eight games also saw both teams get on the scoresheet.

Six of the eight most recent encounters between these Icelandic rivals finished with over 2.5 goals scored, and a similar outcome should be on the cards this week. 

Over 2.5 goals looks like a solid choice, with BTTS offering extra value in what should be an open and entertaining contest.
