Víkingur Reykjavík hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 13 points and a 10th position in the Pepsideild table. Visiting Valur holds 7th place with 17 pts.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

This stadium uses grass, unlike Valur's home stadium. The visitors last 29 games on grass have ended in 10 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses. This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
