Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Grótta & Keflavík face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Keflavík have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 1-2-7 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.

Grótta form and stats

Last season, Grótta's League Cup journey ended in the group stage.

With 0 Pepsideild wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Grótta are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. With eight home Pepsideild games in a row without a win, the Grótta fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Haukar game long ago, can be stopped today.

Grótta has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Grótta have allowed the opposition to score 21 goals here at Vivaldivöllurinn.

Keflavík form and stats

Keflavík was sent out of League Cup in the group stage last season.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 6 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Inkasso-Deildin. The fact that Keflavík have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Having won their last three away games Keflavík has no reason to fear anyone.

The game before that, in the Fotbolti.Net Cup Cup A, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Grindavík.

Keflavík create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 29 goals in 10 travels. In the opposite end, Keflavík have conceded 16 goals in their away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's four Grótta victories, one draw and three Keflavík wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
