KR have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of five victories in a row regardless of arena. KR have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

KR play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting ÍA. Before that, KR secured a home win against KA with the score 1-0.
