Faroe Islands football giants can’t be beat on home turf
AB Argir remain just one point behind HB Torshavn in sixth place of the Premier League 2026 table with 14 points accumulated from 12 games and their chances of pulling off a surprise result at home to the visiting giants of Faroe Islands soccer will be hampered by their recent form.
The Red and Whites have won three, drawn one and lost two of their six home games in the league this season, shipping 10 goals at an average of 1.67 per game.
Henrik Larsen's men have become extremely difficult to break down since the Dane took over as manager in June 2022 and his pragmatic approach to soccer prioritises defensive solidity and simple wins. They are generally well organised in either a 5-4-1 or 4-4-2, sit deep and counter-attack as quickly as possible or from set pieces when necessary.
Luca Oersted, who has the team's joint highest number of assists with six in 12 appearances, has been an engine room dynamo for Argir in the past five games, providing four assists to help his team to a 2-1 away defeat at Klaksvik and a 3-2 home win over NSI Runavik.
HB Torshavn have a taste for their own medicine
Tactics and coaching
Andre Olsen's HB Torshavn have been a mixed bag since he took over as coach in May 2025, winning three and losing three of their first six away games in the league, conceding nine goals at an average of 1.50 a game.
His playing philosophy is much more proactive and attacking than his predecessor's with the team frequently aligning into a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and playing on the front foot, pushing men forward, taking risks and trying to turn the opponent over with a high press.
Key players and recent form
- The hosts also have a tall targetman up front in Obule Moses, who is the highest scorer with three Premier League goals this season, although their other forwards have all scored less than a goal a game.
- Storm Bugge Pettersen has been HB's best bet for a goal this term, having scored four times in ten league appearances.
- Last weekend, they edged B68 Toftir 1-0 away from home before drawing 0-0 at home to Vikingur in their previous match.
A cagey battle likely on Sunday
We like HB to win at a decent 1.63 odds this weekend because they are fifth-placed in the league and have more to play for than their hosts.
However, Argir have not secured a home win against HB in recent meetings and the last meeting between these sides, a 1-1 draw at HB Torshavn five weeks ago, suggests this will be a tight affair. The matchup of Argir's low block against HB's proactive style will provide the main tactical interest in a clash of a historic giant of the game in the Faroe Islands against their battling survival specialists in Argir.
