Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Thróttur Reykjavík & Vestri face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Iceland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Thróttur Reykjavík form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Iceland Cup for Reykjavík, as the manager G. Gudmundsson led his troops to eliminate Alafoss, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season their Iceland Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.Thróttur Reykjavík's struggle is real here at Eimskipsvöllurinn with only 10 points collected from 11 Inkasso-Deildin games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-1-7.
Reykjavík's last game was hosting Alafoss and winning 1-0. Previous to that game, a League Cup home match hosting Grotta in a game that was won 2-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Thróttur Reykjavík perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Thróttur Reykjavík as a small favourite), we find four games. Reykjavík has won two of these, drawn one and lost one.
Reykjavík have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Eimskipsvöllurinn with 20 goals in 11 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Vestri form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Horhur I. in order to reach 2nd Round of Iceland Cup. Vestri's mission in Iceland Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.The visitors are W2-D0-L2 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Deild.
Prior to that match, the Vestri manager B. Johannsson faced defeat when travelling to ÍBV and losing 2-3.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Vestri in our archives, and the results are: one win for Vestri, zero draws and one defeat.
Vestri have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored. Vestri have conceded 6 goals in these games.
