FH form and stats

FH have an excellent away record in the Pepsideild so far with 4-1-1 from 6 games. Having won their last three away games FH has no reason to fear anyone.

Impressive finishing from M. Beck secured the home win 1-0 against Fjölnir in their previous game. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Valur.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager L. Ólafsson when M. Beck scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 77th minute.

The schedule is very tough for FH now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Pepsideild game at IA is waiting in only three days.

FH create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 16 goals in 6 travels. FH's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.

The two sides played each other earlier this season: FH - Stjarnan 1-2. Last ten meetings between the teams: Stjarnan won three, FH won four and three draws. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.
