Another interesting game in the Pepsideild. Stjarnan is in the 7th position after playing three matches. They welcome HK who are placed 9th after six games.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Pepsideild match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Valur, so at least Stjarnan are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.

HK form and stats

HK are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Pepsideild, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses). Two points from the last two away games for HK, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Pepsideild home defeat versus Vikingur Reykjavik with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Before that, HK travelled to IA and returned home with a draw after the game finished 2-2.
