The visiting Breidablik side should be favourites in this visit to Grótta, as the away team holds a 11 point advantage from their ten league games this season.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

It should be mentioned that Breidablik play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Breidablik on artifical turf are 8 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats from 13 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 31-16. You can compare this with overall results below.

Grótta form and stats

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

The home team returns to Vivaldivöllurinn after being equal after 90 minutes with Stjarnan (placed 5th) on their last time out; the Pepsideild game ended 1-1. Heartbreak before that as Grótta lost 0-3 at Breidablik's place.

The Grótta fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. As for conceded goals, Grótta's unpleasant statistic is 12 goals surrendered. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Grótta have let the opposition score 12 times, an average of more than three per game.

Breidablik form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Pepsideild.

Breidablik play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting Víkingur Reykjavík (placed 8th). Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Grótta in the Iceland Cup.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Breidablik, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Breidablik has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 8 goals from 5 games. Breidablik's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 8 goals from these trips.
