This match features two teams living in the basement of the Pepsideild, Grótta holding 11th place and Fjölnir lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Fjölnir's home stadium. The visitors last nine games on artifical turf have ended in 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Grótta form and stats
With 0 Pepsideild wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Grótta are certainly not brimming with confidence. Grótta has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Á. Gylfason and the players. The Grótta manager Á. Gylfason might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
K. F. Gunnarsson was the last player to score a league goal for Grótta and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Grótta haven't scored in 285 minutes.
The Grótta crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Fylkir here at Vivaldivöllurinn in a Pepsideild match. Heartbreak before that as Grótta lost 0-3 at HK's place.
Grótta aren't scoring a lot here at Vivaldivöllurinn in the league, with only 5 goals from 6 games. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Grótta having conceded 15 goals here at Vivaldivöllurinn so far.
Fjölnir form and stats
Fjölnir, who have the most conceded goals (32) in Pepsideild, have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Pepsideild, after 0-3-3 (6 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Fjölnir, who have now gone 15 games without a victory. The Thor game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Fjölnir have lost on their last two travels.
Home advantage was not enough for Fjölnir in their previous game, as they lost their Pepsideild-match, hosting Breidablik, 1-4. A 0-2 defeat away at Fylkir before that.
Fjölnir have scored 6 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. The Fjölnir manager A. Arnarsson has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
