Perhaps a welcome break from league football as ÍR & KA face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Iceland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
ÍR form and stats
Last season their Iceland Cup adventure ended in the 16th finals.1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what ÍR have to build on here at Hertz völlurinn in the 2. Deild. ÍR are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of five drawn games in a row. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Hertz völlurinn, but a victory now would be sweet for ÍR.
The ÍR crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-4 to KR here at Hertz völlurinn in a Reykjavik Cup match. A Reykjavik Cup defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Throttur Reykjavik.
As you see from the result above, ÍR suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
ÍR are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. ÍR's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 5 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
KA form and stats
They also participated in Iceland Cup last season. This ended in the 8th finals.There's been little loot from KA's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 11 away games in the Pepsideild. KA only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but KA are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 2-0 against Magni in their previous game. Preceding that game, the 0-6 loss visiting Vikingur Reykjavik's place.
The visiting KA have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 11 games. KA have conceded 22 goals in these games.
