KA form and stats

As mentioned below, KA are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Pepsideild games. Hopes of three in a row are alive for KA after consecutive victories at their own ground.

KA's previous game was also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Keflavík (placed 12th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

Before that match, a win away at IBV.

Keflavík form and stats

No Pepsideild points yet away for Keflavík, from their first 3 matches. It's looking increasingly bleak for Keflavík who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Breidablik was the last time a defeat was avoided.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Keflavík, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus KA (placed 2nd).

A 1-4 defeat away at Víkingur Reykjavík before that.

Keflavík have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. The Keflavík defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 11 goals in their away games. Keflavík has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these parties get together this season, as the results database show this recent fixture: KA - Keflavík 3-2. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - three - two (KA wins - draws - Keflavík wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
