Keflavík form and stats

Keflavík's struggle is real here at Nettóvöllurinn with only 4 points collected from 8 Pepsideild games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-4. With eight home Pepsideild games in a row without a win, the Keflavík fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

FH form and stats

There's been little loot from FH's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 8 away games in the Pepsideild. FH only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Recent form does not give FH much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Keflavík will be a tough nut to crack.

FH failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Fylkir (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 2-4. As you can tell from the result, the match against Fylkir was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against KR wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 10 of this side's 13 latest league matches have ended with three or more goals.
