This should be quite a match, with Fjölnir in 3rd and Fylkir placed 2nd. Here's our match guide!

Insights:
  • Fjölnir have the most scored goals in the first half (17) in Inkasso-Deildin
  • Fylkir have the most scored goals (37) in Inkasso-Deildin

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Fylkir 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 1-4-12 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.

This is a local fight, usually meaning more stress and significance.

Both contenders have had adequate rest since their previous work day in an official game. Let's wish for an energetic game!

Fjölnir form and stats

16 points is a decent return from 7 Inkasso-Deildin games here at Extra völlurinn for Fjölnir. The data says 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Fjölnir are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

A nice win for Fjölnir last time playing, versus Throttur Vogar. That was also a home game and the match ended 6-0 with Heimisson, Guðmundsson, Jónsson, Júlíusson, Sigursteinsson and Jónasson scoring for the victors. As mentioned above, Fjölnir "killed" Throttur Vogar in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Heimisson has scored in three matches in a row. Outstanding!

Before that match, a win away at Thor.
