National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Magni or HK that keep their silverware dream alive.
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 Magni and HK.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting HK have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 13-6-10 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.
Magni form and stats
Magni participated in Iceland Cup the last season, where they reached the 16th finals.G. Sigthorsson was the last player to score a league goal for Magni and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Magni haven't scored in 180 minutes.
The fans are hoping that Magni will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Inkasso-Deildin game against ÍBV. Before that, Magni played out a Iceland Cup draw 2-2 when visiting KF (after extra-time).
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Inkasso-Deildin game versus Fram in only four days. This game is also played here at Grenivíkurvöllur.
HK form and stats
They also participated in Iceland Cup last season. This ended in the 8th finals.Playing away, HK have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 0 defeats in the Pepsideild this season.
It's the second away game in a row for HK, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus KR in the Pepsideild last time out. A loss against FH was the result prior to that, in a Pepsideild home game.
A quick return to home after this game, as HK are hosting Valur in the Pepsideild only four days away.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, HK has managed 3 goals and let in 0 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
