Fridays Football Bet of the Day see’s me focus on the Icelandic second tier as ÍBV look to extend their winning run at home and goals look on the cards between Thór and Thróttur Reykjavík.
ÍBV vs Grótta
🇮🇸 I Deild
⏰ Friday 9th July, 19:00
ÍBV host Grótta in Vestmannaeyjar on Friday evening. The hosts currently lie in 2nd position and in a promotion spot whereas the visitors are in the bottom half of the table in 9th and only four points above the relegation zone.
After losing their first two games of the season, ÍBV come into this in terrific form unbeaten in their last eight winning seven. Last time out they secured a late 0-1 away to Thróttur Reykjavík to extend their winning run to five matches. ÍBV have a perfect record against bottom half sides winning all five. ÍBV are unbeaten in their last five home games winning four.
Grótta come into this defeating bottom side Vikingur Ólasvík 3-2 at home. Prior to that they had lost four on the bounce and winless in six. Grótta have been poor travellers so far this season and have the second worst away record in the league gaining only a solitary point in their five away games.
Thór vs Thróttur Reykjavík
🇮🇸 I Deild
⏰ Friday 9th July, 19:00
Thór host Thróttur Reykjavík in Akureyri also on Friday evening. Both sides currently lie in the bottom half as the hosts are in 8th and only five points ahead of their opponents who are in 11th and in the relegation zone.
Thór come into after securing back to back 1-1 draws to Selfoss and Vestri. Thór have only failed to score once in their ten games this season scoring 18 goals. However, they only kept one clean sheet also this season and have conceded in all four of their home games. In total Thór have conceded 17 goals this season.
Last time out Thróttur Reykjavík were defeated 0-1 against 2nd placed ÍBV, a game they missed a penalty while at 0-0. That was the first time they failed to score this season, scoring 19 goals in their first nine games. Thróttur have only kept one clean sheet this season which came against basement boys Vikingur Ólasvík. Thróttur have the third worst defensive record in the league conceding 23 times.
Bet of the Day
ÍBV come into this winning seven of their last eight and should gain another three points at home to poor travellers Grótta. Both Thór and Thróttur Reykjavík have only failed to score once all season but have only kept one clean sheet each also. Both sides should find the back of the net here.
