ÍF will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 9 points behind HB.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
ÍF form and stats
The story so far in the Meistaradeildin for ÍF at their home stadium (á Fløtugerði) is 3 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
ÍF's last game was hosting TB (placed 8th) and winning 1-0. Before that game, the home loss against B36 with the scoreline 0-3.
There will be little rest for ÍF after this match as they are travelling to TB for a Faroe Islands Cup game in only four days.
A decent goal production from ÍF in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 6 league matches. ÍF have conceded 13 goals in these home games, a significant number.
HB form and stats
The away performances of HB, who have the most points (15) away in Meistaradeildin, have been very solid so far with 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat in the Meistaradeildin. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue.
HB play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Skála (placed 10th). Prior to that match, the HB manager J. Askou faced defeat when travelling to NSÍ and losing 0-2.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the HB manager J. Askou as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against KÍ.
HB create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 16 goals in 6 travels. HB have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
