Magni form and stats

The first 2. Deild game here at Grenivíkurvöllur resulted in a draw. Last season Magni's home game statistics were 1 victory, 3 draws and 6 defeats from 10 games.

It's back home for Magni, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Fjardabyggd away with the result 4-0. As mentioned above, Magni "killed" Fjardabyggd in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

In the match before that, Magni hosted Njardvík and drew the game 2-2.

Early season league goal statistics from Magni's 1 home game: 2 goals, 2 conceded.

ÍR form and stats

Only one away game in the 2. Deild so far for ÍR and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 2 victories, 0 draws and 8 losses from 10 travels.

The manager J. Gudlaugsson was unhappy after their last game, a 2. Deild match played at their home ground Hertz völlurinn. ÍR suffered a 1-5 loss to Thróttur Vogar (placed 4th). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Thróttur Vogar was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Völsungur.

It's early days yet, but ÍR has scored 2 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Magni, two draws and four wins for ÍR. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
