Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Keflavík & Njardvík face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Iceland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
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 Keflavík and Njardvík.
