KA hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 15 points and a 10th position in the Pepsideild table. Visiting HK holds 7th place with 18 pts.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Pepsideild. That game was also an away game, at Víkingur Reykjavík. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
