With their 6 point advantage in the league table, FH fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Grótta.
Grótta could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Pepsideild game only four sleeps ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Grótta 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 13-8-13 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.
FH form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what FH have to build on here at Kaplakrikavöllur in the Pepsideild.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 197 minutes.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for FH, who played 0-0 against KA. That match was also played at this venue (Kaplakrikavöllur). In the game before, an away victory match versus Fjölnir with a 3-0 scoreline.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Thor are coming to town in three days.
FH are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. 3 goals have been conceded.
Grótta form and stats
The visitors are W1-D0-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Pepsideild.
Grótta delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Víkingur Reykjavík (placed 4th) in their previous match; a Pepsideild game. A 0-1 defeat away at KA before that.
With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any positive result for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Grótta as the away team, we found seven results. Statistics from these were one away win, zero draws and six defeats. The outsiders lost four of these games by at least two goals.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Grótta manager Á. Gylfason as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Breidablik.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Grótta as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. Grótta's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
FH-Grótta H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: FH two wins, Grótta zero wins, one draw. two of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).FH missing players
