Fjölnir form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Pepsideild this season. Fjölnir, who have the most conceded goals (16) at home in Pepsideild, have only managed 0 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses from their games here at Extra völlurinn. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. With seven home Pepsideild games in a row without a win, the Fjölnir fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Throttur Reykjavik game long ago, can be stopped today.

The fans are hoping that Fjölnir will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Pepsideild game against Fylkir (placed 2nd). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Vikingur Reykjavik.

Fjölnir aren't scoring a lot here at Extra völlurinn in the league, with only 4 goals from 6 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Fjölnir have allowed the opposition to score 16 goals here at Extra völlurinn.
