Delightful dogfight as daring Njardvík duels with determined Haukar

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Njardvík form and stats

Njardvík have played three home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Njardvík fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Víkingur Ólafsvík game long ago, can be stopped today. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Njardvík with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Keflavík game, 27 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

The Njardvík fans got no joy from their last match, a Inkasso-Deildin game also here at Njarðtaksvöllur: A 0-2 defeat against Afturelding. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Magni (2-3).

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 Njardvík have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won 1 time, drawn 0 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Njardvík as they are travelling to their away game against KR in the Iceland Cup. That match is three days after this one.

Njardvík has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches: 0 goals from 3 games. Njardvík have conceded 3 in these home matches.

Haukar form and stats

As the visiting team Haukar have produced an overall stat of 1-2-1 so far.

The manager B. Guðjónsson was unhappy after their last game, a Inkasso-Deildin match played at their home ground Njarðtaksvöllur. Haukar suffered a 1-2 loss to Leiknir Reykjavík. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Afturelding at their stadium, the result 2-1.

We have checked recent matches where Haukar have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were W2-D2-L4.

Haukar find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 5 goals from 4 away fixtures. As opposed to that, Haukar have seen the ball go into their own net 5 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last four meetings): Njardvík won 2 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Haukar has 1 win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 4 / 0
