Grótta form and stats

Grótta have collected 7 points from their Inkasso-Deildin home games so far after 2-1-1. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Grótta with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Thróttur Reykjavík game, 32 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Grótta lost their last game at Afturelding (placed 7th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Heartbreak for Grótta in their last match as Afturelding's P. Vazquez scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Preceding that match was the home game against Fram that was lost 0-1.

Grótta are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Vivaldivöllurinn in their league games, having scored an impressive 11 goals in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.

Víkingur Ólafsvík form and stats

The manager G. Einarsson is not happy with the away performances in the Inkasso-Deildin so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. With the Víkingur losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Víkingur Ólafsvík might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Thróttur Reykjavík proved too strong as Víkingur slumped to a 0-7 defeat in front of their own fans at Ólafsvíkurvöllur. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Thróttur Reykjavík was particularly ugly (0-7). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Preceding that game, the 3-5 loss visiting Selfoss's place.

A new game in only four days for Víkingur, the Inkasso-Deildin home match versus Grindavík. Busy days.
