FH form and stats

This stadium, Kaplakrikavöllur, has been a fortress for FH in the Pepsideild so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 5-1-0.

FH are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 181 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Finnbogason).

No payout for FH in their previous match, an away game at KR that ended in defeat 0-1. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Björnsson for missing a penalty kick versus KR in the 78th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-5 away at Stjarnan.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from FH's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 4 games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Goal party? Who knows about this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 most recent league matches with this team has contained three goals or more.

Goals are plentiful at Kaplakrikavöllur in the league this season as FH has scored 16 goals here in 6 home games.
