Home advantage could prove decisive in Thróttur Reykjavík - Magni battle

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Reykjavík and Magni.

Relegation threatens Thróttur Reykjavík who should definitely be looking for some points here. Magni are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Thróttur Reykjavík form and stats

With 1 Inkasso-Deildin win, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Thróttur Reykjavík, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Inkasso-Deildin, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Reykjavík to get some points in this home game. The Reykjavík manager G. Gudmundsson might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Reykjavík fans got no joy from their last match, a Inkasso-Deildin game also here at Eimskipsvöllurinn: A 0-3 defeat against ÍBV (placed 4th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Keflavík (2-4).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Reykjavík's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn zero and lost one.

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

Reykjavík aren't scoring a lot here at Eimskipsvöllurinn in the league, with only 8 goals from 9 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Reykjavík with 21 goals conceded in these matches.

Magni form and stats

There's been little loot from Magni's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 9 away games in the Inkasso-Deildin. Magni, who have the most conceded goals (43) in Inkasso-Deildin, only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 0 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Magni are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road. Three has not been a lucky number for Magni as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Thróttur Reykjavík match.

Magni are travelling again after losing away to Grindavík in their previous match (1-3). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Leiknir Reykjavík.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Magni playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.

A new game in only four days for Magni, the Inkasso-Deildin home match versus Thór. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Magni's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 26 goals in 9 travels.
