EB / Streymur form and stats

With 2 Meistaradeildin wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, EB / Streymur are certainly not brimming with confidence. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Við Margáir, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Skála game.

A good away victory last time out for EB / Streymur, who won 1-0 against TB (placed 8th). Preceding that match was the home game against KI that was lost 0-7.

The lack of attacking qualities in Streymur means that they have only scored 3 goals in 7 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Streymur have conceded 17 goals in these home games, a significant number.

AB form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for AB, who have the most conceded goals (49) in Meistaradeildin, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-6 (win-draw-lose). AB are desperate to end a 17-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Víkingur fixture. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in AB's last three away games as they have all been lost.

There might be some fixture complaints from AB as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Meistaradeildin match against HB (0-11). A draw for AB before that, at their own venue hosting Skála (1-1).

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against HB was particularly ugly (0-11). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting AB as they have only managed to score 5 times from 8 away games in the league. AB can't defend away. 27 goals have been scored by the opposition in 8 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
