HK - Fylkir

HK (1.deild) host Fylkir (Landsbankadeild) after having defeated Keflavik, another team from the top division, in the previous round of the Icelandic national Cup.

HK currently are in the mid-table of their division, with 13 points less than the table leader Breidablik and 6 less than Vikingur Reykjiavik (2nd in the table). Their home record reads as 2/2/2.

If you have been following Icelandic soccer you'll surely know Fylkir are currently at 3rd place in the table, but realistically they don't have many chances to catch Valur (2nd place) and get a place in next UEFA Cup.
VISA Bikar could then provide them a ticket to Europe and Fylkir are really optimistic about reaching at least the final rounds.

The most dangerous opponents are already out of the competition: IA Akranes have been thrashed by FH (that would not occupy the UEFA place for the national Cup winner) in the other 1/8 final match (5-1 AET), Keflavik is out as well and one between Valur and KR (that will meet each other at this stage) soon will.

Defeating HK and progressing would mean taking the first step toward an achievement that looks really possible. Fylkir do know that and they're going to travel to HK with the full squad.

In conclusion we have a team that collected 12 out of 17 points on the road and is going to play away vs an average side of a lower division with their best available squad and strong motivations.
I do believe HK will be highly motivated as well, but if Fylkir want to progress it should only be up to them.
