B71 form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their 1. Deild travels is 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

A loss against AB II was the result prior to that, in a home game.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the B71 manager R. Goffe as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against B36 II.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, B71 are regular goalscorers on their travels. B71's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
