FH Hafnarfjordur Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the Urvalsdeild tournament (home team - FH Hafnarfjordur, away - KR Reykjavik). The match concluded with a scoreline of 1:1.
Here are the match stats (FH Hafnarfjordur vs KR Reykjavik):
- ball possession: 38% vs 62%;
- corner kicks: 3 vs 9;
- fouls: 7 vs 11;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 1;
- shots on target: 4 vs 12.
The eight-time Icelandic champions had a catastrophic start to the season: a defeat to Vikingur on home soil (0:5), red cards in two consecutive matches, and just two points after nine rounds. Gudjonsson has since sorted out the defence - last round Hafnarfjordur took a point off KR (1:1), despite KR having 16 shots in the first half alone. Jokull Andresson saved everything but one.
The attack, though, is visibly falling apart. Ulvur Agust Bjornsson has gone to study in the USA and won't play again this season, Gretar Gunnarsson is suspended, and the club's best creator Kjartan Kari Halldorsson is being courted by Vikingur - the window closes on 12 August, and his goal against KR could turn out to be his last for the club.

Editor's Pick
A win for either side doesn't look likely here. Hafnarfjördur have not won in 21 of their last 23 league matches, and away from home in 10 of 11. Akureyri have the same problem: without a win in 9 of their last 10 rounds.
There is nothing to add to this except injury concerns at both clubs: the hosts are without the suspended Markus Mani Petursson. Two clubs that need points more than they need risk will find it easier to settle for a draw. The bet is a draw. Predicted score - 2:2.
