The visitors are W2-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Pepsideild.

KA delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Fram (placed 8th) in their previous game. KA's last match (vs Fram) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 87th minute equalizer by Hafsteinsson.

Prior to that match, the KA manager Gretarsson faced defeat when travelling to Vikingur Reykjavik and losing 1-2.
