Thróttur Reykjavík form and stats

Last season, Reykjavík's League Cup journey 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, 153 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Three consecutive losses here at Eimskipsvöllurinn is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Stress levels are on the rise for Reykjavík's attacking players as they have now played 270 minutes without scoring in a league game. Esaú Rojo was their last goal scorer.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Valur (0-5).

Thróttur Reykjavík aren't scoring a lot here at Eimskipsvöllurinn in the league, with only 8 goals from 10 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Reykjavík with 22 goals conceded in these matches.

Fjölnir form and stats

Fjölnir was sent out of League Cup in the group stage last season.

There's been little loot from Fjölnir's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Pepsideild. Fjölnir only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Fjölnir have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Thor game. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Fjölnir, who have now gone 20 games without a victory. The Thor game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Fjölnir aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 181 league minutes without a goal. K. Gudmundsson was the last player to find the net.

Fjölnir failed to get anything from their last game, a Reykjavik Cup home match vs Fylkir that ended with defeat 2-3. Preceding that game was the away Reykjavik Cup victory against Fram with the score of 6-1.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Fjölnir have conceded 16 goals in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
