Game week two of the Pepsideild season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Leiknir Reykjavík - Breidablik preview:

Leiknir Reykjavík and Breidablik should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

8-3-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Breidablik when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 14 matches are 29-16 (scored/conceded).
