Kórdrengir form and stats

Kórdrengir have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Inkasso-Deildin. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Kórdrengir.

An away draw last time out for Kórdrengir, facing Vestri in a game that ended 2-2. A disappointing finish for Kórdrengir in their match versus Vestri as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Grindavík that ended 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kórdrengir have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Kórdrengir are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Kórdrengir are not conceding a lot of goals here at Framvöllur Úlfarsárdal in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
