HK hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 19 points and a 9th position in the Pepsideild table. Visiting KR holds 6th place with 27 pts.

KR could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Pepsideild game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Víkingur Reykjavík, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for KR.

8 - 1 - 3 with 30-22. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for KR when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. KR play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

HK form and stats

KR form and stats

KR has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

It's the second away game in a row for KR, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Víkingur Reykjavík (placed 10th) in the Pepsideild last time out. A loss against Fylkir was the result prior to that, in a home game.

KR has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 10 goals from 6 games. KR's manager R. Kristinsson has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
