This could be an interesting match as ÍA have their presumed home advantage while FH are ahead 12 points in the Pepsideild table.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Pepsideild. That game was also an away game, at Stjarnan. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

FH are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
