Víkingur Reykjavík form and stats

Víkingur Reykjavík have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Pepsideild, after 1-4-4 (9 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Reykjavík's last three away games as they have all been lost.

A new game in only four days for Víkingur Reykjavík, the Pepsideild home match versus KR. Busy days.

The attacking power of Víkingur Reykjavík when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. As opposed to that, Reykjavík have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
