Argir:
The Argja Bóltfelag Argir looks back on an interesting history. The purple-blue have existed since 1973 and are based in the Faroese capital Tórshavn. Because the free training facilities were already occupied half a century ago, the club trained in a school for the first two decades.
No wonder that it took a long time in such conditions before the frensurin found her way into the top division in the country, in which no noteworthy success has yet been achieved.
In the first year of belonging to the Premier League of the Faroe Islands, Argir immediately descended again, only to directly rise again as second in the second division. However, the capitals were able to stop the emerging trend of becoming an elevator team, if only briefly.
In 2014 and 2015, the purple-blue bit temporarily stuck in the upper house of football before the descent followed in 2016. With the second league championship in 2017, it then went straight back up to the top, where Argja Bóltfelag Argir is now starting its third year again. Whether the frensur can now reach a fourth year of belonging to the top division in the country for the first time?
At least with Argir against Vikingur, the odds of all bookmakers swing very clearly in the direction of the guests, which does not exactly indicate that the purple-blue are expected too much in the 2020 season. A remarkable assessment, because with a view to the squad, which with a current market value of over one million euros is definitely one of the better selections in the Faroe Islands, this year’s relegation should also be a realistic season goal.
In addition to playmaker and superstar Tóki á Lofti, two names stand out. This is on the one hand captain and keeper Hedin Stenberg and on the other hand Adeshina Lawal. At the beginning of the season, the 35-year-old Nigerian came to Argir from today’s guests Vikingur on loan and is likely to be all the more motivated against his former employer.
Vikingur:
Compared to the hosts, Víkingur Gøta is a very young club. It was only in January 2008 that the Vikings were founded, which resulted from a merger between GÍ Gøta and Leirvík ÍF. A merger that was worthwhile in the long term, because in the first twelve years the blue-blacks had already collected a number of titles, more precisely twelve in number, which means an almost sensational cut.
In the second year of its existence, Vikingur won the national cup for the first of five times. They also won the Faroe Islands Super Cup five times. In 2016 and 2017, two national championships also went to the club, which temporarily made it the flagship of the Faroe Islands.
This was the case for the national championships in the UEFA competitions for the blue-blacks, who have so far won two of their six competitive games in the qualifying rounds for the Champions League. While it was not enough to reach a group stage in any European competition, Vikingur has contributed much of the country’s points to the UEFA coefficient in the past decade.
Most recently, however, sand got into the Viking gear. In 2019, the club from the north-east of the archipelago only finished in fifth place, missing the qualification for the qualification round for the Europa League. As a result, coach Sámal Hentze had to pack his bags after only one year and several top performers such as the two Serbs Milan Svojic and Filip Djordjevic or playmaker Hedin Hansen left the club.
With even more pressure, the blue-blacks go into the new season, in which coach Eyðun Klakstein with a restructured team should attack again at the top. So a lot of pressure, which does not favor a tip for the guests at Argir against Vikingur.
After all, it should be noted that the two-time Faroese champion still has to find himself because of the season, which was delayed due to the Corona crisis. The Vikings in the Skansi Arena can be trusted with goals. Finally, the offensive came 51 times in 27 games last season. Overall, the team has yet to prove that things are looking up again.
The fact that Coach Klakstein was only provided with a one-year contract does not speak for an overly patient management of the club, which should increase the pressure even more.
