Grótta welcomes ÍA in this Fotbolti.Net Cup Cup A Group Stage. Read on for key stats and predictions!
Grótta form and stats
Last season their Fotbolti.Net Cup Cup A adventure ended in the 5th place final.With 0 Pepsideild wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Grótta are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. With eight home Pepsideild games in a row without a win, the Grótta fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Haukar game long ago, can be stopped today.
Grótta are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-6 away versus Valur. Ahead of that match, Grótta lost 2-4 at home to KA.
As you see from the result above, Grótta suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Grótta are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Grótta have allowed the opposition to score 21 goals here at Vivaldivöllurinn. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
ÍA form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for ÍA, as they won the Fotbolti.Net Cup Cup A.3-1-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for ÍA in their Pepsideild matches away.
ÍA's previous game was their home loss versus FH (0-4). A draw for ÍA before that, at their own venue hosting Vikingur Reykjavik (2-2).
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against FH was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, ÍA are regular goalscorers on their travels. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that ÍA concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: zero - one - seven (Grótta wins - draws - ÍA wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Grótta missing players
