Struggling Skála will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying HB in the upcoming league round. It’s 10th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Skála form and stats

Skála, who have the most conceded goals (27) in Meistaradeildin, have played 4 Meistaradeildin games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Skála with their five defeats in a row. Not since the AB game, 30 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Skála, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Stress levels are on the rise for Skála's attacking players as they have now played 460 minutes without scoring in a league game. T. Hovdanum (own goal) was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Skála in their previous match, an away game at KÍ that ended in defeat 0-3. Before that game, the home loss against TB with the scoreline 0-2.

Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim. When Skála have been in this position before, they have won zero, drawn zero and lost one from one game. one defeat by at least two goals.

Skála has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. Skála have conceded 9 goals in these home games, a significant number.

HB form and stats

The visitors are W4-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Meistaradeildin.

It might be tough going out on the road again for HB, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus NSÍ (placed 3rd). Preceding that match was the 3-3 draw at home vs KÍ.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with HB given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed two matches with two wins as expected, zero draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won one of these games by at least two goals.

HB are a potent attacking force on the road with their 13 goals in 5 league games. 5 goals have been conceded by HB in these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the HB - Skála 3-0 played earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Skála won two, HB won six and two draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
