Competition: Iceland Pepsideild
Competition: Sat 22.August
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Kaplakrikavöllur (6738 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. FH are in the 5th position while the guesting HK worry at 9th.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

14-7-7 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for HK when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 28 matches are 44-35 (scored/conceded).

FH form and stats

FH have collected 7 points from their Pepsideild home games so far after 2-1-2.

The FH fans got no joy from their last match, a Pepsideild game also here at Kaplakrikavöllur: A 1-2 defeat against Stjarnan (placed 2nd). A strong away win before that one, visiting KR and winning 2-1.

The defeat against Stjarnan was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored five minutes into stoppage time (by H. Bjornsson).

FH are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. FH have conceded 6 in these home matches.

HK form and stats

Playing away, HK have won 1 game, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Pepsideild this season. HK seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

HK had fun at their own home (Kaplakrikavöllur) last time out, beating Fjölnir 3-1. B. Ingason (2) and M. Rauschenberg scored. That result followed a home victory 6-2 versus Afturelding in the Iceland Cup.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Grotta in just four days.

HK have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 12 goals from 5 away matches. HK are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 12 goals in these matches.

Head 2 Head

FH and HK have met before this season: HK - FH 2-3. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): FH five wins, one draw and HK four victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
