Sit down for a show! Today's main characters are Valur and Stjarnan, a win is the target and 90 minutes the playing time.
- Valur have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
- Stjarnan have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (12) in Pepsideild
It's no vacation for neither Valur nor Stjarnan as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Valur form and stats
Valur are steadily winning Pepsideild games and points here at Origovöllurinn. 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 11 games. Two home wins in a row for Valur bring valid hopes of a third.
Valur's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Stjarnan. The home side are looking to build on that result.
Before that, Valur had a home game versus HK which ended with a victory 4-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

On the other hand, Valur have conceded 14 goals.
Stjarnan form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Stjarnan so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Stjarnan has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
There might be some fixture complaints from Stjarnan as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-2 against Valur.
A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Keflavik.We have checked recent matches where Stjarnan have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 1 victory, 1 draw and 6 defeats.
