This league campaign has been difficult for Selfoss up to now, while ÍBV have taken lots of points. Will the visiting team take a new scalp at JÁVERK-völlurinn?

Insights:
  • Selfoss have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • ÍBV have the fewest conceded goals (13) in Inkasso-Deildin

The visiting ÍBV played their last game only three days ago, a Inkasso-Deildin match. That game was also an away game, at Thor. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Selfoss can neither be promoted or relegated from Inkasso-Deildin. ÍBV are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
