Stjarnan form and stats

Overall Pepsideild stats at home this season for Stjarnan are 2-1-3 (wins-draw-losses). Stjarnan has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager T. Örlygsson and the players.

Stjarnan are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Vikingur Reykjavik.

Heartbreak before that as Stjarnan lost 0-2 at Leiknir Reykjavik's place.

Stjarnan are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Stjarnan defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

ÍA form and stats

ÍA have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Pepsideild, after 1-0-6 (7 played). Bitter travels for ÍA as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the HK match.

ÍA's previous game was their home loss versus FH (0-3).

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Valur.

A new game in only four days for ÍA, the Pepsideild home match versus HK. Busy days.

The attacking power of ÍA when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. The ÍA manager J. Guðjónsson has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result ÍA - Stjarnan 0-0 entered in the official records. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Stjarnan won four games, four matches ended with a draw and ÍA has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
