Fjardabyggd form and stats

There's been little loot from Fjardabyggd's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 7 away games in the 2. Deild. Fjardabyggd only have 0 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 3 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Fjardabyggd, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Völsungur game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Fjardabyggd are looking to quickly end their 270 minutes long goal drought in the 2. Deild.

Fjardabyggd lost away at Völsungur (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Völsungur was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A 0-4 loss hosting Thróttur Vogar before that.

Fjardabyggd are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 7 away games. Fjardabyggd have conceded 14 goals in these games.
