Thróttur Reykjavík form and stats

Thróttur Reykjavík have played three Inkasso-Deildin home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Reykjavík manager G. Baldursson and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Grótta (placed 4th) in the Inkasso-Deildin. There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Grótta as S. Ford's goal in the 84th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes.

Heartbreak before that as Reykjavík lost 1-2 at Kórdrengir's place.

Reykjavík have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Eimskipsvöllurinn with 5 goals in 3 league matches. Reykjavík have conceded 7 goals in these home games, a significant number.
