Grótta - Fjölnir: Small difference between teams in Inkasso-Deildin clash

Grótta and Fjölnir should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

3 - 2 - 5 with 17-22. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Fjölnir when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Fjölnir play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
