Fjölnir form and stats
They also participated in Reykjavik Cup last season. This ended in the semi-finals.Fjölnir have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Pepsideild, after 0-4-5 (9 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Fjölnir have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Thor game. Fjölnir are desperate to end a 20-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Thor fixture.

Two away games in a row for Fjölnir, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Stjarnan in the Pepsideild. It was a Pepsideild defeat before that one as the away game against FH wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Fjölnir's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
