Can Afturelding defeat Vestri in Fagverksvöllurinn Varmá clash?

The hosts Afturelding saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Inkasso-Deildin. This match was also played here at Fagverksvöllurinn Varmá. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Vestri have had more rest.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Vestri have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-1-11 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.

Afturelding can neither be promoted or relegated from Inkasso-Deildin. Vestri are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
