Perhaps a welcome break from league football as ÍA & KR 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!
ÍA form and stats
Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the final.ÍA have played 11 Pepsideild games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-1-5 (wins-draws-losses).
A strong away win for ÍA against Breidablik the last match. Sensational by ÍA last match, beating Breidablik away as big underdogs. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Grotta that ended 3-3.
A goal frenzy last time out for ÍA, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Breidablik. Fun stuff to watch!
ÍA has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. ÍA have conceded 17 from these games.
KR form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for KR, as they won the League Cup.KR's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed KR collect 23 points from their 11 away matches in the Pepsideild. 7 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. KR hope to make it five in this match. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but KR are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
