The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. ÍA are in the 7th position while the guests worry at 12th.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

ÍA form and stats

4-0-4 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for ÍA so far this season. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for ÍA with their four defeats in a row. Not since the KA game, 33 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The ÍA manager J. Guðjónsson might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

ÍA lost their last game at Stjarnan after a 1-3 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Breidablik (1-2).

A decent goal production from ÍA in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 matches. ÍA have conceded 10 in these home matches.

ÍBV form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for ÍBV, who have the most conceded goals (23) away in Pepsideild, so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-8 (win-draw-lose). ÍBV have been very modest guests so far, leaving with zero points in all their 8 away matches played so far. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for ÍBV, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The ÍA game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. eight defeats in a row for ÍBV in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Njardvik.

There were no winners in ÍBV's previous match, a Pepsideild home game that ended 1-1 vs KA. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Víkingur Reykjavík's place.

ÍBV are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels and have only managed 4 goals from 8 away games. The opposition has been scoring high and low on ÍBV's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 23 goals in 8 travels.

Head 2 Head

ÍA and ÍBV have met before this season: ÍBV - ÍA 3-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): ÍA won 6 games, 0 matches ended with a draw and ÍBV has 4 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 7 / 3
