The FH & Stjarnan managers E. Guðjohnsen and Ó. Jóhannesson are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Pepsideild league table.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Stjarnan 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 14-7-7 (win-draw-loss) from 28 matches.
FH form and stats
When playing at home in the Pepsideild, FH have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 4 games.
It's back home for FH, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating KR away with the result 2-1. Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Thor.
This is expected to be a close game, with FH perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with FH as a small favourite), we find four games. FH has won one of these, drawn one and lost two.
FH are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. FH have conceded 4 in these home matches.
Stjarnan form and stats
The seven points Stjarnan have gathered from their first three away trips in the Pepsideild is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
There were no winners in Stjarnan's previous match, a Pepsideild home game that ended 1-1 vs Grotta (placed 11th). Preceding that game was the away Iceland Cup victory against Vikingur Reykjavik with the score of 2-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Stjarnan in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Stjarnan, one draw and two defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Pepsideild trip to Fylkir.
The Stjarnan manager Ó. Jóhannesson has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. It's not easy to score on Stjarnan as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - four - two (FH wins - draws - Stjarnan wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
