Selfoss form and stats

Selfoss have collected 13 points from their Inkasso-Deildin home games so far after 4-1-3.

The followers are hoping that Selfoss will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 3-4 away loss in the match against Fylkir (placed 1st). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The hosts have an in-form goalscorer in Martin, having bagged a goal in three games in a row.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Thór in a game that was won 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Selfoss perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Selfoss as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Selfoss has won 4 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Take note that 9 of the most recent 12 league matches from these players have had goals from both teams.

The manager Martin will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Fjölnir in only four days.

There's been little loot from Kórdrengir's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 8 away games in the Inkasso-Deildin. Kórdrengir only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.

Kórdrengir had fun at their own home (JÁVERK-völlurinn) last time out, beating Vestri 4-0. Gunnarsson, Hjörleifsson and Hansen scored. That win felt sweet as this team had gone five league fixtures without winning. As mentioned above, Kórdrengir was the only team on the pitch versus Vestri in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Prior to that match, the Kórdrengir manager Helenarson faced defeat when travelling to Grindavík and losing 0-2.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Kórdrengir in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Kórdrengir, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

A quick return to home after this game, as Kórdrengir are hosting HK in the Inkasso-Deildin only four days away.

The Kórdrengir manager Helenarson has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
