Grótta form and stats

1 win, 0 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Grótta playing as the away team in the Pepsideild this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Grótta are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Grótta lost away at Breidablik (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It was a Pepsideild defeat before that one as the away game against FH wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Grótta have conceded 8 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
