Competition: Iceland 2. Deild

Match begins: 16:15 (UTC)
Venue: Nesfisk-völlurinn (2000 seats)

Struggling Vídir will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Njardvík in the upcoming league round. It’s 10th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It's no vacation for neither Vídir nor Njardvík 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.

Relegation threatens Vídir who should definitely be looking for some points here. Njardvík are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Deild. 6 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). The away team travel with confidence.
