Víkingur Reykjavík and Valur should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Valur have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-4-9 (win-draw-loss) from 24 matches.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
The season is still full of potential for Reykjavík as they can still win the whole Pepsideild. Valur are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
