Dalvík / Reynir hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 10 points and a 12th position in the 2. Deild table. Visiting Kári holds 8th place with 22 pts.

It's no vacation for neither Dalvík / Reynir nor Kári as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Dalvík are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Kári are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Dalvík / Reynir form and stats

With {1 2. Deild wins}, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Dalvík / Reynir are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Dalvík to get some points in this home game. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Dalvík, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Dalvík / Reynir crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Kári here at Dalvíkurvöllur in a 2. Deild match. Preceding that match was a defeat to Fjardabyggd (1-3).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Dalvík have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost zero.

Dalvík / Reynir have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Dalvíkurvöllur with 14 goals in 9 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Dalvík / Reynir with 20 goals conceded in these matches.

Kári form and stats

Playing away, Kári have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 4 defeats in the 2. Deild this season.

Two travels in a row for Kári, whose manager L. Gunnarsson could celebrate last time after the 2. Deild win against Dalvík / Reynir. Prior to that match, the Kári manager L. Gunnarsson faced defeat when travelling to Njardvík and losing 0-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kári playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were one Kári win, one draw and zero defeats.

Kári have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 11 goals have been scored. 13 goals have been conceded by Kári in these games.
