Perhaps a welcome break from league football as HK & KA face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Iceland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It should be mentioned that KA play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for KA on artifical turf are 7 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat from ten games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 20-9. You can compare this with overall results below.
These are hectic days for the home side, as they were in action only four days ago in the Pepsideild. That game was an away game at Keflavík, so at least HK are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
HK form and stats
Last season their Iceland Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Pepsideild numbers at home for HK so far this season.
HK enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Keflavík's place. The match ended 2-0 with Atlason and Eggertsson scoring.
Before that game, the home loss against KA with the scoreline 1-2.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for HK, as the Pepsideild home game vs Víkingur Reykjavík is only three days away.
At Kórinn, HK has the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 3 league fixtures.
KA form and stats
Last season their Iceland Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals.Things could have gone better for KA in their Pepsideild away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
KA's previous game was their home loss versus Valur (0-4). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Valur was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Prior to that result KA won their away game at HK in the Pepsideild. The scoreline was 2-1.The schedule is very tough for KA now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Pepsideild game at Breidablik is waiting in only three days.
{2 goals} so far away for KA, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
KA have pulled off a streak of 6 consecutive matches without losing (3-3-0) when playing HK.The games between these teams have had a tendency to be hot-tempered, having seen 6 sending-offs from the last ten duels.
