Skála form and stats

Skála's results here at Undir Mýruhjalla in the Meistaradeildin have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

Skála faced defeat in their previous match, away at B36 (1-5). Skála were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Stojanov has beaten the opponent goalkeeper in three matches in a row. Badass!

A defeat was the result before that one, 2-7 away at B68.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Víkingur to win. Let's see if Skála are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 8 games found revealing 0 Skála wins, 0 draws and 8 defeats.

There will be little rest for Skála after this match as they are travelling to HB for a Meistaradeildin game in only four days.

Skála are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
