Valur and ÍBV are ready to let the world see their new people and tricks: It's their first match of the Pepsideild season.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting ÍBV have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-3-3 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
