Season ticket holders at Extra völlurinn haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Fjölnir languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting ÍA will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Fjölnir form and stats

Fjölnir's struggle is real here at Extra völlurinn with only 2 points collected from 8 Pepsideild games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-2-6. All in all it has been a very rough period for Fjölnir who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 17 attempts. Their previous win was against Thor, 382 days ago. With nine 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 spoils were shared in Fjölnir's previous game, also at home. Visiting KA (placed 10th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. 2-2 away at Grótta before that.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Fjölnir as they are travelling to their away game against FH in the Pepsideild. That match is three days after this one.

Fjölnir aren't scoring a lot here at Extra völlurinn in the league, with only 6 goals from 8 games. As for conceded goals, Fjölnir's unpleasant statistic is 21 goals surrendered.

ÍA are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Pepsideild against Grótta (placed 11th). Preceding that, the 2-4 home loss versus Valur.

A quick return to home after this game, as ÍA are hosting Víkingur Reykjavík in the Pepsideild only three days away.
