A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Stjarnan fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and KA's 10th place in the table will show on the pitch.

KA could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Pepsideild game only four sleeps ago.

This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike KA's home stadium. The visitors last twelve games on artifical turf have ended in 2 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses.

KA form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Pepsideild travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

KA delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against IA (placed 7th) in their previous match; a Pepsideild game. Prior to that match, the KA manager A. Gretarsson faced defeat when travelling to Valur and losing 0-1.

Drawing 2-2 against IA after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager A. Gretarsson needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Stjarnan in just four days.

KA are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. The KA manager A. Gretarsson has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Stjarnan, two draws and two wins for KA. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
