Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Kórdrengir - Selfoss!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kórdrengir and Selfoss.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Selfoss have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 5-1-4 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.

The season is still full of potential for Kórdrengir as they can still win the whole 2. Deild. Selfoss are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Kórdrengir form and stats

This stadium, Framvöllur Úlfarsárdal, has been a fortress for Kórdrengir in the 2. Deild so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 7-2-0. Kórdrengir has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Selfoss defeat 63 days ago. Kórdrengir has recorded two wins in a row here at Framvöllur Úlfarsárdal, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Kórdrengir, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 325 minutes in the 2. Deild.

Kórdrengir are returning here after visiting Völsungur in a 2. Deild game and winning with a 6-0 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Kórdrengir won a home game hosting Fjardabyggd (1-0).

As mentioned above, Kórdrengir "killed" Völsungur in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Kórdrengir are traveling soon after this match as the 2. Deild match at Thróttur Vogar awaits in four days.

Goals decide football matches and Kórdrengir are scoring many of them at home; 21 on target from 9 league matches. Kórdrengir are not conceding a lot of goals here at Framvöllur Úlfarsárdal in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 9 matches.

Selfoss form and stats

Selfoss have an excellent away record in the 2. Deild so far with 6-0-2 from 8 games. Selfoss has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against KF.

Selfoss might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Thróttur Vogar proved too strong as Selfoss slumped to a 1-4 defeat in front of their own fans at JÁVERK-völlurinn. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against IR.

After this away game Selfoss return home for a 2. Deild game against KF. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Selfoss have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 16 goals from 8 away matches. Selfoss have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
