Venue: Alvogenvöllurinn (3333 seats)

There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with KR leading Valur by 10 points.

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 29 matches resulting in 10 wins, 9 draws and 10 defeats with the goal stats 36-36 (scored/conceded). These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

KR form and stats

3 victories, 1 draw and 0 defeats. That’s what KR, who have the fewest conceded goals (7) in Pepsideild, have to build on here at Alvogenvöllurinn. In general it's been a long time since KR tasted defeat here at Alvogenvöllurinn, as they have taken at least one point from their last 13 home games.

The points were shared in KR's previous game, also at home. Visiting Valur travelled back with a point after a 0-0 scoreline. Before that match, a win away at ÍA.

This is expected to be a close game, with KR perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with KR as a small favourite), we find five games. KR has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

The KR manager R. Kristinsson has got the team scoring with 8 from 4 home games. From these home matches, KR have conceded only 3 goals.
