The Pepsideild league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Stjarnan and KA are placed 1st and 9th respectively.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It should be mentioned that KA play their home matches on grass, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on artifical turf. Does it matter? Recent statistics for KA on artifical turf are 4 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats from twelve games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 18-24. You can compare this with overall results below.
Stjarnan form and stats
Stjarnan have only played one Pepsideild game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from 11 matches.
A nice win for Stjarnan last time playing, versus Leiknir Fáskrúdsfj.. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with E. Atlason, M. Rauschenberg and K. Konráðsson scoring for the victors. In the game before, an away victory in the Pepsideild match versus Fjölnir with a 4-1 scoreline.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Stjarnan have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won six times, drawn one and lost zero.
Early season league goal statistics from Stjarnan's 1 home game: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
KA form and stats
KA have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Pepsideild were 3 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats from 11 fixtures.
KA had fun at their own home (Samsung völlurinn) last time out, beating Leiknir Reykjavík 6-0. M. Qvist, S. Þórsteinsson, G. Stefansson and Hallgrímur Steingrímsson scored. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Víkingur Reykjavík.
As mentioned above, KA was the only team on the pitch versus Leiknir Reykjavík in their previous game, winning 6-0. This could be a tougher task.
We have checked recent matches where KA have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were three victories, one draw and five defeats.
1 goal so far away for KA, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Stjarnan victories, two draws and two KA wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
