Throttur vs Kopavogur tips and predictions

Icelandic Cup match offers big price against home success

If you're looking for evidence that the experts don't always get it right, this might be the match. Whatever the outcome, the home side has a great chance.

Throttur will need Kopavogur to be complacent in order to add another loss to the records books. The away side comes into the match with 8 losses from their last 10 matches. For such a short priced team you might have wanted a better return than this.

Throttur need to see that the visitors are over-confident to improve their odds. They must take their chances. When they're at home they have been producing some brilliant stuff. Their recent 17 home matches have resulted in them knocking in an average of 3.1 goals per game.

Kopavogur have actually conceded at least once in all of their last 20 matches. And their problems aren't only in the first-third of the field. In front of goal the visitors have been underwhelming. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 10 matches.

Throttur have won 10 of the last 16 fixtures between these sides before this one. Their next meeting is a good time for them to build on the head-to-head. It would be a great result for them to add to this record.

It's felt that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Kopavogur. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense on this occasion.

It could be that the clinical finishing in the hosts' recent performances will be a key component of the task in front of them. If they are to somehow pull it off, it is important that they build on this momentum.
