Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Vestri & Valur face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Iceland Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Vestri nor Valur 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.
11-4-11 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Valur when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 26 matches are 55-43 (scored/conceded).
Vestri form and stats
Vestri participated in Iceland Cup the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.The story so far in the Inkasso-Deildin for Vestri at their home stadium (Olísvöllurinn) is 6 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. 4W-0D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Iceland Cup for Vestri. Vestri has recorded two wins in a row here at Olísvöllurinn, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
In their previous game, the manager J. Hauksson led his Vestri to a defeat in the Inkasso-Deildin match away at Fjölnir. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Olísvöllurinn.
Before that, Vestri had a Inkasso-Deildin home game versus Thor which ended with a victory 2-0.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Vestri as they are travelling to their away game against IBV in the Inkasso-Deildin. That match is three days after this one.
A decent goal production from Vestri in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 10 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Valur form and stats

There might be some fixture complaints from Valur as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Pepsideild match against Breidablik (0-3).
The game before that, in the Pepsideild, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Stjarnan.A new game in only four days for Valur, the Pepsideild home match versus KA. Busy days.
