Venue: Grenivíkurvöllur (1000 seats)

The visiting Grótta side should be favourites in this visit to Magni, as the away team holds a 18 point advantage from their 18 league games this season.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Grótta have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 14-10-12 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.

Magni form and stats

2-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Inkasso-Deildin numbers at home for Magni, who have the most conceded goals (45) in Inkasso-Deildin, so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager S. Steingrímsson led his Magni to a defeat in the Inkasso-Deildin match away at Njardvík. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Grenivíkurvöllur. Ahead of that match, Magni won a home game hosting Afturelding (3-1).

Magni are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 attempts. Magni have conceded 15 from these games.
