Valur Reykjavik
- Valur Reykjavik are fifth (9 points from 6).
- Valur have won two and lost two of their four home league games this season (average: 1.75 goals scored, 1.75 goals conceded per match).
- The hosts like to play with a quick tempo and a direct style, and Hermann Hreidarsson’s team have adopted a pragmatic but forward-thinking approach recently which has seen them press high up the field and transition quickly on the wings.
Breidablik Kopavogur
- Breidablik Kopavogur’s unbeaten streak (W3, D2) sees them sit 4th (12 points from 6 games).
- Breidablik are unbeaten in their three away league games this term (W1, D2) and have conceded an average of just 0.67 goals per match on their travels.
- Valur come into this game on the back of a two-match losing streak (1-4 home loss to KR Reykjavik and 3-2 away defeat to Fram Reykjavik), while Breidablik are enjoying their best run of the season so far (2-1 W away to IBV Vestmannaeyjar, 3-3 D at home to FH Hafnarfjordur and 2-1 W away to Throttur Reykjavik in the Icelandic Cup).
- Breidablik have the longer unbeaten streak and better away form (W2, D1), and they will want to dictate the flow of this match.
- Valur, on the other hand, will look to break out in transition as they look to make the most of the spaces that the visitors will leave behind when they press.
Key Players
Both teams have some real quality in attack, with Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson ( three goals in three appearances ) and Kristofer Ingi Kristinsson ( four goals in one league game ) being the main threats for Valur and Breidablik respectively, and we’re expecting goals at both ends of the field on Sunday.
Betting Insights
