AB hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 4 points and a 9th position in the Meistaradeildin table. Visiting ÍF holds 5th place with 22 pts.
Best bookmaker betting odds:
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
AB form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Meistaradeildin this season. AB, who have the most conceded goals (19) at home in Meistaradeildin, have only managed 0 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Skansi Arena. All in all it has been a very rough period for AB who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Vikingur, 79 days ago. AB are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Skansi Arena, having lost their two previous games here.
AB are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus KÍ. Heartbreak before that as AB lost 1-2 at Vikingur's place.
AB has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 3 goals from 6 games. AB's defense is seriously deficient as 19 goals have been conceded in these matches.
ÍF form and stats
Playing away, ÍF have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 1 defeat in the Meistaradeildin this season.
ÍF are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Meistaradeildin against Skála (placed 10th).
U. Stojanov certainly enjoyed ÍF's last game versus Skála, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 3-0 victory.
ÍF have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 4 goals have been scored. As for defending, ÍF rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 7 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the ÍF - AB 4-2 earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): AB six wins, zero draws and ÍF four victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
