National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Fjölnir or KR that keep their silverware dream alive.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Fjölnir form and stats
Last season, Fjölnir's Reykjavik Cup journey ended in the semi-finals.Fjölnir have performed here this season with 6 wins from 11 Inkasso-Deildin matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 4 games and lost 1.
Happy days for Fjölnir in their previous game, a Reykjavik Cup match away at ÍR that ended with a 5-1 victory. Before that game, the 7-0 home victory against Thróttur Reykjavík.
As mentioned above, Fjölnir "killed" ÍR in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
There will be little rest for Fjölnir after this match as they are travelling to Fylkir for a Reykjavik Cup game in only four days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (24 in 11 games), Fjölnir's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Fjölnir have conceded only 9 goals.
KR form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for KR, as they won the Reykjavik Cup.KR's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed KR collect 23 points from their 11 away matches in the Pepsideild. 7 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. KR hope to make it five in this match. KR has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
KR are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Reykjavik Cup against Fylkir. Preceding that game was the away Pepsideild victory against Breidablik with the score of 2-1.
A quick return to home after this game, as KR are hosting Thróttur Reykjavík in the Reykjavik Cup only four days away.
