Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Thróttur Reykjavík & HK face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
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.
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 13-6-10 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.
Thróttur Reykjavík form and stats
Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the group stage.With 3 Inkasso-Deildin wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Thróttur Reykjavík are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A decent goal production from Thróttur Reykjavík in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 11 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
HK form and stats

HK find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 12 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, HK have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
