Fylkir will hope their home comforts are enough to get a result from this difficult encounter with high-flying Víkingur Reykjavík.

Insights:
  • Fylkir is in the worst form (1-2-3)

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Iceland Cup.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Víkingur Reykjavík have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-5-4 (win-draw-loss) from 13 matches.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
