The ÍA manager J. Guðjónsson attacks this game with the team placed 6th so far. In the visitors dressing room KR and their manager R. Kristinsson are in 7th place before this match.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Iceland Cup. That game was an away game at Kórdrengir, so at least ÍA are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
ÍA form and stats
The hosts won their first Pepsideild game here at Norðurálsvöllurinn, lifting spirits. Home statistics for ÍA last season were 5 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses from 11 games.
ÍA are returning here after visiting Kórdrengir (after extra-time) in a Iceland Cup game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. H. Jónsson, S. Þórðarson and V. Jónsson scored the goal(s). Heartbreak before that as ÍA lost 1-2 at FH's place.
The victory against Kórdrengir (after extra-time) came after S. Þórðarson's winning goal. The ÍA manager J. Guðjónsson was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.
Early season league goal statistics from ÍA's 1 home game: 3 goals, 1 conceded.
KR form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Pepsideild, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 11 matches.
It's the second away game in a row for KR, but there's smiles all around after the 8-1 victory versus Vængir Jupiters in the Iceland Cup last time out. A loss against HK was the result prior to that, in a Pepsideild home game.
As mentioned above, KR was the only team on the pitch versus Vængir Jupiters in their previous game, winning 8-1. This could be a tougher task. Æ. Jónasson certainly enjoyed KR's last game versus Vængir Jupiters, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 8-1 victory.
1 goal so far away for KR, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: ÍA won one, KR won seven and two draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
