Venue: Skansi Arena (2000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the Meistaradeildin, with both AB and TB experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 8th place.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Meistaradeildin. That game was also an away game, at HB. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

AB form and stats

With 0 Meistaradeildin wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, AB, who have the most conceded goals (21) at home in Meistaradeildin, are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for AB who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 14 attempts. Their previous win was against Víkingur, 84 days ago. AB are slowly digging their own grave here at Skansi Arena with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Víkingur match.

The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus ÍF in the Meistaradeildin last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting KÍ (0-2).

The match schedule is unforgiving for AB as they have a new game in only four days, a Meistaradeildin match thankfully also at home. Skála are visiting.

AB aren't scoring a lot here at Skansi Arena in the league, with only 5 goals from 7 games. As for conceded goals, AB's unpleasant statistic is 21 goals surrendered. AB have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.

TB form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for TB so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for TB who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. AB was the last time a defeat was avoided. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on M. Winter, the TB manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

It might be tough going out on the road again for TB, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-4 versus HB (placed 1st). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against NSÍ.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the TB manager M. Winter as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against B36.

The attacking power of TB when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. In the opposite end, TB have conceded 12 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the TB - AB 1-1 earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last seven matches): AB two wins, two draws and TB three victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
