Fylkir look to continue what has been an impressive campaign so far compared to last year when they host Reykjavik on Thursday evening.
The hosts go into this match on the back of a 2-1 win over IBV last weekend, which extended their unbeaten run in the league to three games. Rúnar Páll Sigmundsson's side ended last season in 12th place with just three wins, but the fact that they have already recorded three victories after nine games this time around shows that they have improved. Still, Fylkir fans would like to see their team improve their defence, as none of their last fourteen games in all competitions have ended without the team conceding a goal.
Reykjavik, meanwhile, finished last season in the top half of the table, but have yet to settle this season. By comparison, the visitors have already conceded five league defeats after nine games, which is only two less than in the whole of last season. Despite all the recent difficulties, the away team should be encouraged by the fact that they have lost only one of their last four encounters with Fylkir.
