AB form and stats

AB's struggle is real here at Skansi Arena with only 2 points collected from 6 Meistaradeildin games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-2-4. 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. We have seen two home losses in a row now for AB, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

AB lost their last game at KÍ (placed 3rd) after a 0-2 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Vikingur.

The lack of attacking qualities in AB means that they have only scored 3 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. AB have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.

ÍF form and stats

As the visiting team in Meistaradeildin matches, ÍF have produced an overall stat of 2-1-1 so far.

Impressive finishing from U. Stojanov (3) secured the home win 3-0 against Skála in their previous game.

It's hard not to mention U. Stojanov's lethal finishing against Skála. three goals were a big reason for the important victory.

ÍF find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. ÍF's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
