This could be an interesting match as Valur have their presumed home advantage while KR are ahead 18 points in the Pepsideild table.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

This stadium uses artificial turf, unlike KR's home stadium. The visitors last nine games on artificial turf have ended in 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
