The Pepsideild league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Víkingur Reykjavík and FH are placed 8th and 3rd respectively.

The hosts Reykjavík saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Iceland Cup. That game was an away game at Víkingur Ólafsvík, so at least Víkingur Reykjavík are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Víkingur Reykjavík form and stats

A Pepsideild draw at home so far for Víkingur Reykjavík. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats from 11 matches.

0-0 away at KA before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Víkingur Reykjavík perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Víkingur Reykjavík as a small favourite), we find five games. Reykjavík has won three of these, drawn two and lost zero.

Víkingur Reykjavík has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 1 goal from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

FH form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Pepsideild, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from 11 matches.

Two travels in a row for FH, whose manager Ó. Kristjánsson could celebrate last time after the Iceland Cup win against Throttur Reykjavik. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs IA.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with FH playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three FH wins, three draws and four defeats.

It's early days yet, but FH has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Víkingur Reykjavík won two games, three matches ended with a draw and FH has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
