Perhaps a welcome break from league football as ÍR & KR face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Reykjavik Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
ÍR form and stats
Last season, ÍR's Reykjavik Cup journey ended in the group a.ÍR have collected 5 points from their 2. Deild home games so far after 1-2-1. On the other hand, in the Reykjavik Cup, ÍR has performed like this (both home and away): 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses. ÍR are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of five drawn games in a row. Three draws in a row here for ÍR, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.
ÍR lost their last game at Throttur Reykjavik after a 0-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was a Reykjavik Cup defeat to Fjölnir (1-5).
The ÍR fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 4 matches. 5 goals have been conceded.
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). When we have look at the Reykjavik Cup statistics, we find 3W-0D-0L. This is both home and away. The fact that KR have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. KR love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
KR are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the Reykjavik Cup against Throttur Reykjavik. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Fjölnir.
The travelling fans enjoy KR's attacking play in away games, having scored 18 goals in 11 league matches away. As opposed to that, KR have seen the ball go into their own net 12 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: 0 - 1 - 1 (ÍR wins - draws - KR wins). As for goals, 0 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 2 had two or less.ÍR missing players
