KR's previous game was also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Fram (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Kristinsson when Finnbogason scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier KR matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats (from 9 games).

KR are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 10 games. 11 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
