Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Fylkir & Víkingur Reykjavík face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Iceland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Fylkir and Víkingur Reykjavík.
This ground uses artifical turf, unlike Víkingur Reykjavík's home stadium. The last 14 games by the away team on artifical turf have seen 5 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
