Valur have performed better than FH so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:

Valur have less rest than FH in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Pepsideild game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Fylkir, was also a home game here at Vodafonevöllurinn. The away team is better rested.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting FH have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-3-3 (win-draw-loss) from eight matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as FH are hosting KR in the Iceland Cup only three days away.
