Víkingur form and stats

22 points is a decent return from 11 Meistaradeildin games here at Sarpugerði for Víkingur. The data says 7 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. Two home wins in a row for Víkingur bring valid hopes of a third.

The fans are hoping that Víkingur will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Meistaradeildin game against NSÍ (placed 2nd). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting HB (0-4).

KÍ form and stats

The away team, who have the most scored goals (35) away in Meistaradeildin, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 8 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the Meistaradeildin. Things are running smoothly for KÍ who hasn't tasted defeat in their last eleven matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against B36.

The supporters enjoyed KÍ's previous game versus ÍF (placed 6th), a Meistaradeildin 4-1 win played at home. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting B36.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the KÍ manager M. Thomassen as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against NSÍ.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as KÍ alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (35 from 11 played). As opposed to that, KÍ have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Víkingur - KÍ 1-2. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Víkingur, four draws and five wins for KÍ. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
