National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's ÍA or Vestri that keep their silverware dream alive.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
ÍA form and stats
ÍA participated in League Cup the last season, where they reached the group stage.ÍA have collected 11 points from their Pepsideild home games so far after 3-2-4.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Grotta are coming to town in four days.
The ÍA fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 17 goals in 9 league matches. ÍA are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (19 from 9 played).
Vestri form and stats
Vestri was sent out of League Cup in the group stage last season.The visitors are W3-D3-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Inkasso-Deildin.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Keflavik was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
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 Selfoss.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Vestri as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. 12 goals have been conceded by Vestri in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
