It's still early in the Pepsideild season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Valur - Stjarnan preview!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Valur form and stats
Valur are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Pepsideild games here at Vodafonevöllurinn. Valur are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Vodafonevöllurinn, having lost their two previous games here.
Valur are returning here after visiting Víkingur Reykjavík in a Pepsideild game and winning with a 5-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against ÍA that was lost 1-4.
As mentioned above, Valur "killed" Víkingur Reykjavík in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Early season league goal statistics from Valur's 2 home games: 1 goal, 5 conceded.
Stjarnan form and stats
Only one away game in the Pepsideild so far for Stjarnan and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 3 victories, 6 draws and 2 losses from 11 travels.
The supporters enjoyed Stjarnan's previous game versus Leiknir Fáskrúdsfj., a Iceland Cup 3-0 win played at home. Prior to that result Stjarnan won their away game at Fjölnir in the Pepsideild. The scoreline was 4-1.
After this away game Stjarnan return home for a Pepsideild game against HK. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Stjarnan have the goal stats of 4-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
