Tindastoll predicted 10th place
Specialists from the main football webside in Iceland, fotbolt.net have predicted Tindastoll to finish in 10th place out of 12 teams.
Here you can see the prediction for the forthcoming season. http://fotbolti.net/news/01-05-2013/span-style-color-green-b-spa-thjalfara-og-fyrirlida-i-1-deild-karla-10-saeti-b-span
The experts say that if Tindastoll is going to stay up , they need to be lucky with their foreign players, like they where last season. They also say the team is well organized under the control of a promisins young coach, Donni.
on the downside, they say the team have lost almost all players that matter the most to the team last season, except the goalkeeper. Often it is the second year that is the hardest in a new league, so it will be difficult season for the club.
Key players: Sebastian Furness, Atli Arnarson & Steven Beattie
