Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Fjölnir & Vestri face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Fjölnir form and stats
Fjölnir was eliminated in the group stage last season in the League Cup.22 points is a decent return from 11 Inkasso-Deildin games here at Egilshöll for Fjölnir. The data says 6 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. 2W-0D-1L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the League Cup for Fjölnir.
It's back home for Fjölnir, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Vikingur Olafsvik away with the result 5-1. In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Valur.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Fjölnir played a great game against Vikingur Olafsvik and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
The Fjölnir manager A. Arnarsson has got the team scoring with 24 from 11 home games in the league. From these home matches, Fjölnir have conceded only 9 goals.
Vestri form and stats
The visitors are W2-D0-L2 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Deild.
Vestri had fun at their own home (Egilshöll) last time out, beating Vikingur Olafsvik 3-0. It was a League Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Valur wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.
Vestri delivered their win in the match against Vikingur Olafsvik already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Vestri manager B. Johannsson as the team has another away game coming up in only two days, this time against IBV.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Vestri have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. In the opposite end, Vestri have conceded 6 goals in their away games.
