The league table in Meistaradeildin tells a story about these teams so far, with KÍ leading AB Argir by 41 points. Match preview to follow:
The hosts KÍ saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Europa League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Dinamo Tbilisi, was also a home game here at Injector Arena. The away team is better rested.
KÍ form and stats
KÍ have performed here at Injector Arena this season with 7 wins from 9 Meistaradeildin matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 1. After failing to beat NSÍ here at Injector Arena, KÍ has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Kristian Joensen not having conceded a league goal in 194 minutes.
KÍ's previous game was a Europa League match also played at home, ending 6-1 versus Dinamo Tbilisi. The home side are looking to build on that result. A 0-0 draw away in the Meistaradeildin before that, with TB the opponent.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, KÍ played a great game against Dinamo Tbilisi and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. What a game it was for Pall Klettskard when beating Dinamo Tbilisi, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
Everyone expects KÍ to win this match. We have checked our database for matches where they have been as big a favourite and found 31 games: 23 home wins, four draws and four defeats. KÍ have won with at least two goals margin 20 times in similar situations.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for KÍ as they are travelling to their away game against Dundalk in the Europa League. That match is four days after this one.
KÍ are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (23 goals in 9 games). KÍ are not conceding a lot of goals here at Injector Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 9 matches.
AB Argir form and stats
AB Argir, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in Meistaradeildin, have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Meistaradeildin, after 0-2-8 (10 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for AB Argir, who have now gone 20 games without a victory. The Víkingur game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Argir have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the B36 game.
Argir are looking to quickly end their 212 minutes long goal drought in the Meistaradeildin.
AB Argir are travelling again after losing away to B36 in their previous match (0-3). A loss against TB was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Nobody expects Argir to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 39 times before, with the overall statistics of won 13, draw two and lost 24. When defeated, 19 matches have been lost by two or more goals.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Meistaradeildin trip to Víkingur.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting AB Argir as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. There are big problems for the AB Argir defense as they have conceded 33 goals in 10 away games.
