KÍ form and stats

KÍ's mission in Champions League last season failed in the 2nd qualifying round.

The strength of KÍ on their travels this season is incredible with 22 points collected from 8 Meistaradeildin away games. KÍ has 7-1-0 on the road, with 23 goals scored and 1 conceded.

Impressive finishing from Šabala (2), Frederiksberg and Bjartalíð secured the home win 4-2 against NSI in their previous game. A stark raving crazy match with plenty of goals last time out for KÍ, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that entertaining match, will this game be as enjoying?

Ahead of that match was the victory versus HB at their stadium, the result 2-1.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 12 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with 9 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. 1 game were lost by at least two goals margin.

KÍ are a potent attacking force on the road with their 23 goals in 8 league games. KÍ's manager Thomassen has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
