Perhaps a welcome break from league football as KR & HK face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting HK have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-2-8 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.
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.
KR form and stats
Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the semi-finals.The followers hope that KR will fight back in this game, putting things right after the 0-2 away defeat in the League Cup fixture against Valur.
A 1-1 scoreline against IR before that, played at home in the Reykjavik Cup.
The match schedule is unforgiving for KR as they have a new game in only four days, a League Cup match thankfully also at home. Grindavik are visiting.
HK form and stats
HK's mission in League Cup last season failed in the group stage.6 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of HK playing as the away team in the Inkasso-Deildin this season.
The fans enjoyed HK's previous match versus Grindavik, a League Cup win (4-0) played at home.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Vestri.The travelling fans enjoy HK's attacking play in away games, having scored 19 goals in 11 league matches away. HK's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
KR-HK H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: KR five wins, HK two wins, three draws. six of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
