FH form and stats

When playing at home in the Pepsideild, FH have managed 3 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 8 games.

Nothing to worry about in defence for FH, as their goalkeeper Gunnar Nielsen has completely shut out the opponents for 255 minutes in the Pepsideild.

A good away victory last time out for FH, who won 5-0 against Keflavík (placed 8th). As mentioned above, FH "killed" Keflavík in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. J. Jónsson was absolutely essential when FH beat Keflavík 5-0, scoring three goals.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Leiknir Reykjavik in a game that was won 5-0.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Vikingur Reykjavik are coming to town in four days.

FH can score goals in their home matches. After 8 league matches they have found the net 16 times. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. FH's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Keflavík form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Keflavík so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-6 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on S. Eyjolfsson, the Keflavík manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Keflavík's previous game was their home loss versus FH (0-5). Keflavík lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

A 1-2 defeat away at Valur before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Keflavík manager S. Eyjolfsson as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against HK.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Keflavík have scored 9 goals in 8 league games away. For Keflavík, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
