Grótta form and stats

There's been little loot from Grótta's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 8 away games in the Inkasso-Deildin. Grótta only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Grótta as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Thor match.

Impressive finishing from Santos and Halldórsson secured the home win 4-2 against Afturelding in their previous game. That victory felt nice as this side had gone three league matches without victory. A bizarre game with plenty of goals last time out for Grótta, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this game be as much fun?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against KV wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 8 of this team's 10 most recent league games have ended with three or more goals.

In the opposite end, Grótta have conceded 15 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Grótta have put together a streak of 4 consecutive matches without losing (2-2-0) when playing Thróttur.

The newest logged history involving both these contenders is the Grótta - Thróttur Vogar 1-0 played previously this season.
