Venue: Würth völlurinn (2872 seats)

Fylkir will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 11 points behind KR.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting KR have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 3-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches. This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
