AB Argir form and stats

With 0 Meistaradeildin wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, AB Argir, who have the fewest scored goals (14) in Meistaradeildin, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 23 attempts. With eleven home Meistaradeildin games in a row without a win, the Argir fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Víkingur game long ago, can be stopped today.

Argir faced defeat in their previous match, away at Skala (0-2). Preceding that match was the home game against NSÍ that was lost 1-2.

Argir have scored 7 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Argir are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (27 from 11 played).
