The Pepsideild league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. HK and Víkingur Reykjavík are placed 8th and 9th respectively.

It's no vacation for neither HK nor Víkingur Reykjavík as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Víkingur Reykjavík's home stadium. The visitors last eleven games on artifical turf have ended in 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses.

Víkingur Reykjavík form and stats

The Pepsideild season is young and Víkingur Reykjavík have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Reykjavík might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Valur proved too strong as Víkingur Reykjavík slumped to a 1-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Víkingsvöllur. A 0-2 defeat away at KR before that.

Reykjavík lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.

It's early days yet, but Víkingur Reykjavík has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): HK won one game, four matches ended with a draw and Víkingur Reykjavík has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
