ÍA form and stats

With 1 Pepsideild win, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, ÍA are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on ÍA to get some points in this home game.

The ÍA crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Stjarnan here at Norðurálsvöllurinn.

Heartbreak before that as ÍA lost 2-3 at Vikingur Reykjavik's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with ÍA perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with ÍA as a small favourite), we find 5 games. ÍA has won 4 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.

ÍA have scored 5 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. ÍA are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 6 played).
