Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Valur & Fjölnir face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Reykjavik Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!

Valur and Fjölnir 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.

Fjölnir form and stats

Fjölnir's mission in Reykjavik Cup last season failed in the semi-finals.

As the visiting team in Inkasso-Deildin matches, Fjölnir have produced an overall stat of 6-2-3 so far. Total Reykjavik Cup statistics for Fjölnir: 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses.

Fjölnir play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 3-5 to Fylkir. A 1-2 loss hosting KR before that.

A huge disappointment for Fjölnir in their last match (vs Fylkir). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-5 defeat. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Fjölnir, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
