With their 18 point advantage in the league table, KA fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against ÍA.

Insights:
  • KA have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Pepsideild
  • ÍA have the most conceded goals (38) in Pepsideild

It's no vacation for neither KA nor ÍA 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.

The season is still full of potential for KA as they can still win the whole Pepsideild. ÍA are struggling to avoid relegation.
