ÍA will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 3-2 Úrvalsdeild loss in their previous game against HK.

Matches with ÍA have tended to be lively encounters of late with high scoring being the norm. Over their past six games, the sum of 30 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 5 goals per game) with 12 of those belonging to Skagamenn. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this match, of course.

💡 Prediction

For this match, we think that ÍA will likely be able to find the net against this Valur team, however a single goal probably won’t be good enough.

We’re therefore expecting a close game with a 1-2 winning score for Valur when all is said and done. It should be a decent one.
