It's the second try for points this league season as Thróttur Reykjavík and Leiknir Reykjavík lock horns at Eimskipsvöllurinn.

5-2-17 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Leiknir Reykjavík when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 24 matches are 26-63 (scored/conceded).

This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning increased stress and significance.

It's no vacation for neither Reykjavík nor Leiknir Reykjavík as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
