Date: Sun 01.September
Match begins: 16:00 (UTC)
Venue: Kórinn (1452 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. HK are in the 6th position while the guests worry at 9th.

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

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Víkingur Reykjavík have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-2-3 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
