Head-to-Head
Valur have won the last two head-to-head meetings in the Besta deild karla 2026, beating Stjarnan 4-2 away three months ago.
Valur Reykjavik
- Valur Reykjavik will be favourites to beat Stjarnan when the two sides meet in the Besta deild karla 2026 at N1 Voellurinn, Iceland, on Tuesday, but the visitors should have enough in the locker to keep things close.
- Christopher Brazell has done a decent job of keeping Valur competitive since taking over on 30 June 2026.
- His men have a solid structure and play with a tempo that suits their attacking talent and high-pressing setup, but they have been exposed at the back at times.
- Valur's home record in the Besta deild karla 2026 is three wins, one draw and four defeats, while Stjarnan's away record in the league is a worse two wins, two draws and four defeats from eight away matches.
- Valur have conceded 18 goals in eight home fixtures in the Besta deild karla 2026, so the defensive line have been under pressure at Laugardalsvöllur.
Stjarnan
- Stjarnan have scored 1.62 goals per away match and conceded 2.62 goals per away match in the Besta deild karla 2026 away from home, so these are the sort of stats that will keep an away game with the visitors live.
- Joekull Elisabetarson's men have the transition threat to cause problems, but there are soft spots for their hosts to exploit if they can break through the press.
- Stjarnan have been caught out at the back in recent fixtures, losing 5-0 away to KR Reykjavik in the Besta deild karla 2026, beating Ilves Tampere 1-0 at home in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 and being hammered 5-1 away to IA Akranes.
Key Players
- Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson has scored seven goals in four appearances in the Besta deild karla 2026 for Valur and should make the most of another big game on Tuesday.
- Emil Atlason has netted seven in three Besta deild karla 2026 games and three in their last five for Stjarnan.
Betting Insights
With their higher average goals for and against numbers, Stjarnan are always a good bet to get on the board and over 2.5 goals is worth a bet here at 1.22 .
