HK are counting on their home following to aid them when playing this game hosting Stjarnan. Who wins at Kórinn?

Insights:
  • HK have the fewest points (9) at home in Pepsideild

HK and Stjarnan should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

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

HK are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Stjarnan is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Stjarnan's previous game was their home loss versus FH (0-4). Stjarnan lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
