A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Valur fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and KA's 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.
2 - 1 - 8 with 15-26. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for KA when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. KA play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.
Valur form and stats
Valur, who have the the best goal difference (+13) in Pepsideild, have played 4 Pepsideild games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Valur are returning here after visiting Fjölnir in a Pepsideild game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. S. Lárusson and L. Petry scored the goal(s). Before that, Valur had a home game versus Fylkir which ended with a victory 3-0.
The Valur fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Valur have conceded 5 in these home matches.
KA form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Pepsideild for KA with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
The attacking players of KA have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes. The KA goalkeeper Kristijan Jajalo is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 337 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Iceland Cup home defeat versus IBV (after extra-time) with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting KR in the Pepsideild.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting KA as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The KA manager A. Gretarsson has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: four - two - two (Valur wins - draws - KA wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
