The glass has been half empty for Víkingur Ólafsvík so far, and that also applies to Selfoss. The bottom dwellers have the opportunity for some important points here.

Insights:
  • Víkingur Ólafsvík have the fewest scored goals (19) in Inkasso-Deildin
  • Selfoss have scored at least twice as many goals away as Víkingur Ólafsvík have scored home.

It's no vacation for neither Víkingur nor Selfoss 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.

Relegation threatens Víkingur who should definitely be looking for some points here. Selfoss are struggling to avoid relegation.
