National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Keflavík or Afturelding that keep their silverware dream alive.

This field has grass, unlike Afturelding's home stadium. The last 30 games by the visitors on grass have seen 6 wins, 7 draws and 17 losses.

These are hectic days for the home side, as they had a match only four days ago in the League Cup. That game was an away game at KR, so at least Keflavík are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Keflavík form and stats

Keflavík participated in League Cup the last season, where they reached the quarter-finals.

4-1-6 (win-draw-lost) are the Pepsideild numbers at home for Keflavík so far this season.

Keflavík are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found five matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won four, drew zero and lost one.

The Keflavík fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 19 goals have been conceded.

Afturelding form and stats

Afturelding's mission in League Cup last season failed in the group stage.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Afturelding so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-8 (win-draw-lose).

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Afturelding played away with similar odds. This revealed six games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected six times.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Afturelding have scored 15 goals in 11 league games away.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head numbers (for the preceeding six meetings): Keflavík won three games, two matches ended in a draw and Afturelding got one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / two
