A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.

It's no vacation for neither KR 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.

This pitch has grass, which is not Valur's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Valur have performed like this: Played 28 matches resulting in 10 wins, 8 draws and 10 defeats with the goal stats 36-36 (scored/conceded). There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
