Grindavík form and stats

Grindavík have played 7 Inkasso-Deildin games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-0 (wins-draws-losses).

Grindavík travelled for their previous game, a trip to Víkingur Ólafsvík that ended 2-2. In the match before that, Grindavík hosted ÍBV and drew the game 1-1.

A disappointing finish for Grindavík in their match versus Víkingur Ólafsvík as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

This is expected to be a close game, with Grindavík perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Grindavík as a small favourite), we find seven games. Grindavík has won two of these, drawn four and lost one.

Grindavík have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Mustad völlurinn with 12 goals in 7 league matches. Grindavík's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Leiknir Reykjavík form and stats

Leiknir Reykjavík, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) away in Inkasso-Deildin, have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 15 points collected from 6 Inkasso-Deildin games. 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat is the record so far.

Reykjavík had fun at their own home (Mustad völlurinn) last time out, beating Leiknir Fáskrúdsfj. 2-1. A loss against Fram was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Reykjavík playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Leiknir Reykjavík wins, zero draws and five defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Reykjavík manager S. Höskuldsson as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Magni.

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 15 goals in 6 league games away this season. As opposed to that, Reykjavík have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
