Völsungur form and stats

The story so far in the 2. Deild for Völsungur at their home stadium (Vodafonevöllurinn Húsavík) is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Völsungur with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Fjardabyggd game, 22 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Völsungur, their manager J. Gunnarsson and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

In their previous game, the manager J. Gunnarsson led his Völsungur to a defeat in the 2. Deild match away at IR. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Vodafonevöllurinn Húsavík. Preceding that match was a defeat to KF (2-3).

As you see from the result above, Völsungur suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

A decent goal production from Völsungur in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 league matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Völsungur having conceded 11 goals here at Vodafonevöllurinn Húsavík so far.

Vídir form and stats

As the visiting team in 2. Deild matches, Vídir, who have the most conceded goals (28) in 2. Deild, have produced an overall stat of 2-0-3 so far. With the Vídir losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Vídir have lost on their last two travels.

The attacking players of Vídir have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 428 minutes.

Vídir might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Haukar proved too strong as Vídir slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Nesfisk-völlurinn. Prior to that match, the Vídir manager G. Antoníusson faced defeat when travelling to Njardvik and losing 0-3.

The attacking power of Vídir when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 5 league matches away. Vídir can't defend away. 15 goals have been scored by the opposition in 5 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Völsungur victories, two draws and five Vídir wins. Over/under statistics; ten of these games ended with three goals or more, zero matches with two goals or less.
