The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Stjarnan are in the 5th position while the guests worry at 10th.

It's no vacation for neither Stjarnan nor Víkingur Reykjavík as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Víkingur Reykjavík have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-3-3 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.
