Season ticket holders at Víkingsvöllur haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Víkingur Reykjavík languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting KR will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Reykjavík nor KR 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.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Víkingur Reykjavík form and stats
Víkingur Reykjavík have collected 8 points from their Pepsideild home games so far after 2-2-2.
Víkingur Reykjavík shared the glory with IA in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Fylkir.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Pepsideild game versus KA in only three days. This game is also played here at Víkingsvöllur.
Reykjavík are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (15 goals in 6 games). Reykjavík are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 6 played).
KR form and stats
4 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of KR, who have the fewest conceded goals (1) away in Pepsideild, playing as the away team in the Pepsideild this season.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Pepsideild home defeat versus Fylkir with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Grotta.
KR were so close to getting something from the game against Fylkir, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the KR manager R. Kristinsson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against HK.
KR has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 8 goals from 5 games. KR are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 1 away goal have been conceded so far.
