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

This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Vestri's regular surface at their own football pitch. When playing on artifical turf Vestri have performed like this: Played eight matches with the output 0 wins, 0 draws and 8 defeats with the goal numbers 3-33 (scored/conceded).

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

HK form and stats

Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the group stage.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Kórinn as HK have scored 27 goals to get 27 points from 11 games. The overall stats in the Inkasso-Deildin are 9-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The followers hope that HK will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the League Cup fixture against Valur.

Before that result, a home win against IA in the League Cup.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (27 in 11 games), HK's attacking play is working. HK's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Vestri form and stats

They also participated in League Cup last season. This ended in the group stage.

3-3-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Vestri in their Inkasso-Deildin matches away.

Two away games in a row for Vestri, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-6 vs KR in the League Cup.

A defeat, in the League Cup away at Valur, earlier.

After this away game Vestri return home for a League Cup game against Grindavik. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vestri as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): HK one win, one draw and Vestri zero victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero games had two or less.
