Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Thróttur Reykjavík & Breidablik face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Thróttur Reykjavík form and stats
Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the group stage.Thróttur Reykjavík's results here at Eimskipsvöllurinn in the Inkasso-Deildin have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 7 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Reykjavík with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Magni game, 160 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Game days at Eimskipsvöllurinn have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Reykjavík as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 270 minutes without scoring a league goal. Esaú Rojo was the last player to find the net.
A goal frenzy last time out for Reykjavík, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Fjölnir. Fun stuff to watch!
Reykjavík have scored 8 league goals here from 10 matches, not a lot. Reykjavík are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (22 from 10 played).
Breidablik form and stats
Breidablik's mission in League Cup last season failed in the group stage.4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Breidablik playing as the away team in the Pepsideild this season.
As mentioned above, Breidablik was the only team on the pitch versus Leiknir Reykjavik in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
The travelling fans enjoy Breidablik's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 9 league matches away. 13 goals have been conceded by Breidablik in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
