The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Fylkir are in the 5th position while the guesting HK worry at 9th.

Fylkir form and stats

Fylkir have played 4 Pepsideild games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 197 minutes without scoring a league goal. A. B. Gudjohnsen was the last player to find the net.

The fans are hoping that Fylkir will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Pepsideild game against Valur (placed 1st). Preceding that match was a defeat to KR (0-3).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Fylkir matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from four games).

Fylkir are traveling soon after this match as the Iceland Cup match at Fram awaits in three days.

The Fylkir fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 6 goals in 4 league matches. Fylkir have conceded 5 in these home matches.

HK form and stats

1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of HK, who have the most conceded goals (10) away in Pepsideild, playing as the away team in the Pepsideild this season.

The supporters enjoyed HK's previous game versus Breidablik (placed 6th), a Pepsideild 1-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Stjarnan wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of HK when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning two games.

A new game in only three days for HK, the Iceland Cup home match versus Afturelding. Busy days.

HK are a potent attacking force on the road with their 10 goals in 4 league games. The opposition has been scoring high and low on HK's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 10 goals in 4 travels.

Head 2 Head
