Valur vs Fylkir Predictions & Betting Tips

| |

Valur will try to consolidate its lead in the Iceland Pepsideild at the expense of one of the worst traveling teams. Fylkir is yet to win a match on the road and shouldn’t have high expectations for this Sunday game.

Team News and Probable Lineups

Valur has one of the strongest rosters in the Icelandic first division, with a particularly powerful midfield. The only injury doubts ahead of this fixture involve defensive players, with their attack being largely intact. The hosts will rely on Pederson to score, in spite of him being a midfielder, because of his offensive nature.

Fylkir are at full strength, but they have a single truly reliable striker in the person of Parfitt.

Form Guide and Head-to-Head Results

Form definitely favors the home side, as Valur is the uncontested leader with 23 points.

  • Seven victories, two draws and a single defeat should give them plenty of confidence ahead of this fixture.
  • The recent matches were all narrow margin victories, but they have the advantage in the head to head record.
  • The last three games were all won comprehensively by Valur who also kept a clean sheet in all these matches.

Fylkir have very few reasons to be optimistic ahead of this fixture, if they are to consider recent results.

  • The silver lining is that they won the most recent game against the team sitting in the last position.
  • Their performance on the road is abysmal, with no victory in four matches and plenty of goals allowed.
  • The last time they won against this opponent was in 2018, losing all the games so far.

Odds and Betting Tip

Valur managed to claw its way to the top of the standings thanks to its multiple offensive threats. The team is guaranteed to score at least once in this fixture and probably take the lead early on. Since the odds on the hosts to prevail are on the low side, punters must take more chances. You can either bet on the home side to cover the -1.5 goals spread or go with our prediction.
