Víkingur Ólafsvík form and stats

Víkingur Ólafsvík have played three 2. Deild home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three consecutive losses here at Ólafsvíkurvöllur is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

No payout for Víkingur Ólafsvík in their previous match, an away game at Throttur Reykjavik that ended in defeat 0-3.

Preceding that match was the home game against ÍR that was lost 1-2.

Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Víkingur Ólafsvík having conceded 8 goals here at Ólafsvíkurvöllur so far.

Magni form and stats

The 2. Deild season is young and Magni have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

The attacking players of Magni have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 256 minutes.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Magni, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus KF (placed 7th). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against KF was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-4 defeat against Throttur Reykjavik.

Magni are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. There are big problems for the Magni defense as they have conceded 10 goals in 3 away games.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the last six meetings involving these two participants are: three wins for Víkingur Ólafsvík, one draw and two wins for Magni. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
