It's the second away game in a row for KA, but there's smiles all around after the 5-0 victory versus Leiknir Reykjavík (placed 10th) last time out. As you can tell from the results above, KA was very dominant against Leiknir Reykjavík, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Sigurgeirsson, Hauksson, Þórisson (2) and Aðalsteinsson providing the goals. Þórisson has scored at least one goal for the away team four games in a row. The competence!

A home win before that, celebrating 4-3 vs ÍBV.
