It's early days in the Pepsideild and both Fjölnir and Grótta are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It's no vacation for neither Fjölnir nor Grótta as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
13-8-12 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Grótta 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 33 matches are 44-53 (scored/conceded).
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Fjölnir form and stats
Fjölnir have less points than they have played home games in the Pepsideild so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Fjölnir to get some points in this home game. The Fjölnir manager A. Arnarsson might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Fjölnir's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Fylkir (placed 6th). Heartbreak before that as Fjölnir lost 1-3 at Breidablik's place.
Early season league goal statistics from Fjölnir's 2 home games: 1 goal, 6 conceded.
Grótta form and stats
No Pepsideild points yet away for Grótta, from their first 2 matches. Grótta has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Grótta's last game was the home draw against HK (4-4). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Fylkir wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
Drawing 4-4 against HK after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Á. Gylfason needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against HK was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today? The draw against HK came from a losing position. The Grótta manager Á. Gylfason brought on K. Gunnarsson as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
After this away game Grótta return home for a Pepsideild game against ÍA. That game is only four sleeps after this.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Grótta has managed 0 goals and let in 5 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: three - three - one (Fjölnir wins - draws - Grótta wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
