The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. ÍF are in the 6th position while the guesting AB Argir worry at 9th.
ÍF have less rest than AB Argir in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Meistaradeildin game only four days ago. This match was also played here at á Fløtugerði. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, AB Argir have had more rest.
ÍF form and stats
ÍF's struggle is real here at á Fløtugerði with only 13 points collected from 13 Meistaradeildin games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-1-8. All in all it has been a very rough period for ÍF who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Skála, 112 days ago. ÍF are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at á Fløtugerði, having lost their two previous games here.
The ÍF fans got no joy from their last match, a Meistaradeildin game also here at á Fløtugerði: A 1-2 defeat against B36 (placed 4th). Prior to that, an away loss at KÍ.
The defeat against B36 was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by J. Joensen).
The ÍF fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. ÍF have conceded 24 from these games.
AB Argir form and stats
There's been little loot from AB Argir's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 12 away games in the Meistaradeildin. AB Argir, who have the fewest scored goals (16) in Meistaradeildin, only have 0 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Argir have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the B36 game. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for AB Argir, who have now gone 24 games without a victory. The Víkingur game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
The manager S. Samuelsen was unhappy after their last game, a Meistaradeildin match played at their home ground Skansi Arena. Argir suffered a 2-3 loss to HB (placed 1st). A 0-2 defeat away at Skála before that.
AB Argir were so close to getting something from the game against HB, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.
Argir has another fixture away, a Meistaradeildin game, against KÍ in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Many goals are not expected from the visiting AB Argir as they have only managed to score 7 times from 12 away games in the league. There are big problems for the Argir defense as they have conceded 39 goals in 12 away games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was AB Argir - ÍF 2-2, played this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - one - six (ÍF wins - draws - AB Argir wins). As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.ÍF missing players
