Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Ægir & Fylkir face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Iceland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Ægir's stadium, Þorlákshafnarvöllur, has a grass surface. Fylkir have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Fylkir when playing on grass; 2 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses from 17 matches. They have scored 17 goals in these games and conceded 37.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Ægir form and stats
Last season their Iceland Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.3 victories, 1 draw and 0 defeats. That’s what Ægir have to build on here at Þorlákshafnarvöllur in the 2. Deild.
Ægir lost their last game at Njardvík after a 0-6 scoreline. Ægir were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Before that game, the 5-3 home victory against KF.The match schedule is unforgiving for Ægir as they have a new game in only three days, a 2. Deild match thankfully also at home. Höttur / Huginn are visiting.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (10 in 4 games), Ægir's attacking play is working.
Fylkir form and stats
They also participated in Iceland Cup last season. This ended in the quarter-finals.1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Fylkir playing as the away team in the Inkasso-Deildin this season.
It's the second away game in a row for Fylkir, but there's smiles all around after the 5-2 victory versus Grotta last time out. A mental game with heaps of goals last time out for Fylkir, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this fixture be as exciting?
A 0-1 loss hosting HK before that.Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Fylkir have conceded 6 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
