Kári form and stats

Kári have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the League Cup B. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Kári are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus Vikingur Olafsvik (after extra-time).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Reynir (after extra-time) (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Kári perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kári as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Kári has won 1 of these, drawn 0 and lost 3.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Kári is on fire here. A stunning 12 from 3 league matches.

Ýmir form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the League Cup B, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 6 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats from 7 matches.

Ýmir are travelling after their nice 4-3 home win in the match against Reynir (after extra-time) (placed 5th). A bizarre match with masses of goals last time out for Ýmir, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that game, will this game be as gleeful?

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at KV (after extra-time).

{3 goals} so far away for Ýmir, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
