It's still early in the Pepsideild season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Valur - HK preview!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Pepsideild match only four days ago. That game was an away game at FH, so at least Valur are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Valur form and stats
Valur have only played one Pepsideild game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats from 9 matches.
Valur drew their last game, 1-1 away at FH (placed 1st). Previous to that game, a home match hosting ÍA in a game that was won 2-0.
There will be little rest for Valur after this match as they are travelling to KR for a Pepsideild game in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Valur at home in the league. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
HK form and stats
HK's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Fylkir that finished 2-2. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs KA.
The match against Fylkir looked like a defeat for HK, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. Á. Marteinsson equalized in the 90th minute. As mentioned above, HK drew the match against Fylkir. Manager B. Gunnarsson brought on Á. Marteinsson to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.
A quick return to home after this game, as HK are hosting FH in the Pepsideild only four days away.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Valur won seven, HK won two and one draw. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
