This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Keflavík when playing on artifical turf; 2 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses from 13 matches. They have scored 19 goals in these games and conceded 31.

Keflavík are looking to quickly end their 399 minutes long goal drought in the Pepsideild.
Keflavík might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. KR proved too strong as Keflavík slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Nettóvöllurinn.
It was a Pepsideild defeat before that one as the away game against HK wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.The schedule is very tough for Keflavík now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Pepsideild game at Leiknir Reykjavik is waiting in only four days.
