ÍBV
LDWWWD
ÍBV prepare for this match following a 1-1 Úrvalsdeild drawn game against FH.
The only scorer from ÍBV was Omar Sowe (46').
It has been all too rare in recent games that ÍBV have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that ÍBV have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 8 goals on the way.
Valur
WLLLDW
Valur will go into this game after a 2-4 Úrvalsdeild win in the defeat of Þór Akureyri in their most recent outing.
The only player to score from Valur was Albin Skoglund (88').
Indicating their involvement in fruitful matches, the back of the net has been hit 20 times in the prior 6 matches in which Valur have taken to the field, making it an average of 3.33 goals each fixture. Their opponents have hit 12 of those goals. However, we’ll just have to find out if that trend shall be sustained here in this match or not.

Head to head

Team News: Valur
Due to a mostly available squad, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Valur boss Arnar Grétarsson to be concerned about. Kristinn Freyr Sigurdsson (unknown injury) won’t be in action.
💡
Prediction
Our thinking is that ÍBV can and should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
Conversely, Valur won’t find it easy finding the net themselves but do we see them scoring here as well.
Our selection here is for a decent 3-1 winning margin for ÍBV by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
