IT was pap in Paraguay last night and apologies to anyone who might have been on – looking for a shot at redemption in Iceland where cooler climes in the Cup may just offer up a sacrifice to the goal gods.
VÍKINGUR REYKJAVÍK v VÍKINGUR ÓLAFSVÍK (8.15pm)
A really interesting history between these two sides who fought out plenty of battles in the old 1 Deild before the hosts raised their game.
Both sides are in OK form domestically with VR sitting 5th and VO edging the respective form book in 3rd place having put some comfortable wins in place in recent games as – to be fair – have mein hosts.
Olafsvik have scored at least 1 goal in 9 sucessive games.
Reykjavik have scored in 6 of their last 7 matches.
BTTS has landed in 9 of the last 13 H2Hs.
BTTS & OVERS has landed in 7 of the last 13 H2Hs.
Reykjavik have scored at least two in a cracking 12 of the last 13 H2Hs.
Reykjavik have scored 3 or more team goals in 7 of the last 13 H2Hs.
So we have two teams in fair scoring form heading into an encounter that certainly has a bit of history to go at – I’m taking on the following.
