Perhaps a welcome break from league football as FH & Stjarnan face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Iceland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
This stadium uses grass, unlike Stjarnan's home stadium. The visitors last 28 games on grass have ended in 15 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses.
