HK are still undefeated on their travels in the Pepsideild. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

HK has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Grótta for a Pepsideild game that ended a draw (4-4). Preceding that, the 0-4 home loss versus Valur.

HK's last match (vs Grótta) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 83rd minute equalizer by Nikita Gribov. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for HK, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
