Fjolnir Preview – Can Fjolnir find a way out?
10 Games into this new Icelandic Pepsideild season and Thursday’s hosts, Fjolnir, already find themselves in trouble as they sit bottom of the domestic top flight table with just three points to their name, thanks to three draws to date this term.
Points gained in draws with tonight’s opponents, Vikingur, along with KA and KR Reykjavik have been the only saving graces for Fjolnir who have otherwise struggled this term, having lost seven of their 10 matches so far and possess a woeful home record where they’ve lost all five matches played.
A home record of 0-0-5 3/15 consists of defeats to Stjarnan, Fylkir, Grotta, FH and Valur and all five defeats have also seen the hosts concede at least 2 goals in each of these losses, so they appear to have their work cut out to get a result on Thursday evening despite being at home.
Vikingur Preview – Can Vikingur extend Fjolnir’s woes?
Although the visitors also occupy a place in the bottom half of the Pepsideild, their current 8th place on the Icelandic top flight ladder reflects relative comfort compared to the plight of their hosts, and they’ll no doubt be eyeing off all three points here as they look to bounce back from their recent 4-2 loss at home to 3rd placed Breidablik.
Prior to that loss, Vikingur had put together a promising four-match unbeaten run which included wins against HK and IA Akranes in 2-0 and 6-2 victories respectively along with picking up points in draws with Grotta and Stjarnan, both of which were away from home.
With just two defeats out of their last eight matches on their travels, Vikingur stand a decent chance of adding to their points tally at the Extra völlurinn ground and break their current five-match run without a win against their hosts.
