Kópavogur will indeed be looking to bounce back from their recent loss to Fram and regain their form. While they had a positive result against Breidablik, their inconsistency is evident in their record of only one win in their last seven matches. This inconsistency can be a concern for a team in the top flight.

Currently positioned 7th in the league with 16 points from 13 games, Kópavogur's performance has been characterized by a relatively high number of goals scored (25) but also a significant number of goals conceded (30).

When playing at home, Kópavogur have struggled to secure consistent results, as evidenced by their tally of only 7 points from their last 6 home games. Improving their home form will be crucial for them to climb up the league standings and gain more points.

In order to bounce back from their recent defeat and improve their overall performance, Kópavogur will need to address their defensive vulnerabilities and find a balance between their attacking prowess and defensive stability. Consistency and discipline will be key factors for them to achieve better results moving forward.

With 14 goals scored and 19 conceded, KR's goal difference is not particularly high, but their recent performances indicate a positive trend.
