National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's NSÍ or Skála that keep their silverware dream alive.
NSÍ form and stats
Last season their Faroe Islands Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.Home games in the Meistaradeildin have been a walk in the park for NSÍ so far, with 33 points won from 13 matches; 11 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses. NSÍ haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Víkingur, 104 days ago. NSÍ has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here. We remember; it was Víkingur.
A good away victory last time out for NSÍ, who won 4-3 against B36. Previous to that game, a Meistaradeildin home match hosting KI in a game that was won 1-0.
A goal frenzy last time out for NSÍ, with a total of 7 goals in the match against B36. Fun stuff to watch! What a game it was for K. Olsen when beating B36, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
The NSÍ manager P. Jacobsen has got the team scoring with 32 from 13 home games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. NSÍ have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Skála form and stats
They also participated in Faroe Islands Cup last season. This ended in the semi-finals, when Víkingur drew the shortest straw.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Skála so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-12 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Skála have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the IF game.
Skála lost away at TB (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that match was the Meistaradeildin away draw versus EB / Streymur that ended 1-1.
Skála were so close to getting something from the game against TB, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.
The attacking power of Skála when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 14 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Skála's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 37 goals in 14 travels. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
