- Stjarnan have the most scored goals (20) at home in Pepsideild
- Valur have the most scored goals (37) in Pepsideild
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Stjarnan form and stats
Stjarnan have played 7 Pepsideild games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Stjarnan after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Stjarnan's last game was hosting FH (placed 4th) and winning 5-0. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Stjarnan played a great game against FH and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Vikingur Reykjavik (0-2).Stjarnan are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (20 goals in 7 games). 10 goals have been conceded.

The strength of Valur on their travels this season is incredible with 18 points collected from 7 Pepsideild away games. Valur has 6-0-1 on the road, with 24 goals scored and 5 conceded. Valur have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
Impressive finishing from Pálsson and Kjartansson secured the home win 2-1 against Fylkir in their previous game.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus ÍBV at their stadium, the result 3-0.Goal-happy betting people should observe that 9 of this club's 12 most recent league matches have ended with three goals or more.
The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Valur alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (24 from 7 played). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
