Season ticket holders at Akureyrarvöllur haven’t seen too many victories this season, with KA languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Fylkir will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither KA nor Fylkir as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It should be mentioned that Fylkir play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for Fylkir on grass are 10 victories, 4 draws and 12 defeats from 26 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 44-42. You can compare this with overall results below.
KA form and stats
2 victories, 6 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what KA, who have the most clean sheets (5) at home in Pepsideild, have to build on here at Akureyrarvöllur in the Pepsideild.
The KA goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 225 minutes without conceding a goal in the Pepsideild.
KA's last game was hosting Fylkir (placed 5th) and winning 2-0. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Stjarnan.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how KA have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won seven times, drawn two and lost two.
KA are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 games. From these home matches, KA have conceded only 5 goals.
