Ægir form and stats

6-1-0 is the performance here at Þorlákshafnarvöllur so far in the 2. Deild, giving Ægir a total of 19 from their 7 games here. Outstanding results! It’s been three wins in a row for Ægir here at Þorlákshafnarvöllur, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.

A nice win for Ægir last time playing, versus Magni. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1.

Heartbreak before that as Ægir lost 2-5 at Víkingur Ólafsvík's place.

Lots of goals? We don't know the future, but we do know that 8 of the 10 most recent league games with this team has had three or more goals.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (17 in 7 games), Ægir's attacking play is working. Ægir have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Reynir form and stats

There's been little loot from Reynir's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the 2. Deild. Reynir only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw.

Reynir are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Haukar (placed 5th).

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Völsungur.

The attacking power of Reynir when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. The Reynir manager Jagačić has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels. Reynir has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Reynir - Ægir 0-2 was the output when these squads formerly met, also in this season. Head to head statistics (for the prior seven meetings): Ægir won three games, zero matches ended in a draw and Reynir got four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / four
