Free Betting Tips and Akureyri vs Dundalk Predictions
Dundalk or Draw
The away team has three consecutive matches without defeat, in this period they have two wins and a draw. In their last match the home team won but conceded three goals.
The Lilywhites kept a clean sheet in their last game away from home and got a draw. My Akureyri vs Dundalk prediction is that the visitors will win or get a draw.
Under 2.5 Goals
Dundalk will be looking to repeat the same formula they used in the previous round in which they drew the away first leg. The home team kept a clean sheet in the previous round. Taking these stats into account, I think there will be less than 2.5 goals or even none at all.
Goals in Both Halves – No
In the first leg match played by Dundalk in the previous round there were no goals. The Irish team used a defensive strategy which helped them not to concede goals. The Icelandic team also tends to stay deep in their own half and take advantage of every counter attack.
In Akureyri’s last home game only one team scored. Taking these facts into account, we are likely to see few goals and maybe one of them will score in one of the two halves.
