It's early days in the Pepsideild and both Fylkir 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.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Fylkir form and stats
Fylkir's first Pepsideild home game here at Würth völlurinn ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from 11 matches.
A good away victory last time out for Fylkir, who won 8-0 against IH. Preceding that match was a Pepsideild defeat to Breidablik (0-1).
As mentioned above, Fylkir "killed" IH in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
