KA form and stats

There's been little loot from KA's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Pepsideild. KA only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.

It's the second away game in a row for KA, but there's smiles all around after the 4-2 victory versus Grotta (placed 11th) in the Pepsideild last time out. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against HK.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Grotta was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Hallgrímur Steingrímsson certainly enjoyed KA's last game versus Grotta, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 4-2 victory.

The schedule is very tough for KA now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Pepsideild game at Víkingur Reykjavík is waiting in only three days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far KA have scored 8 goals in 7 league games away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as KA have conceded 12 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
