After a convincing 3-0 victory over ÍBV, Valur are riding a wave of confidence and aiming to secure another win in their upcoming game. The team got off to a strong start when Palsson found the back of the net just 10 minutes into the match. In the second half, goals from Johannsson and Sigurdsson sealed the win for Reykjavík's side, extending their unbeaten run to four consecutive games.

With 29 points from 13 games, Valur currently sit in second place on the table. A win in their upcoming game would bring them closer to Vikingur, the current table-toppers who have amassed 38 points from 15 games. Valur have been impressive in front of goal, scoring 35 times while conceding only 11 goals this season.

Despite their overall success, Valur's home form has been less impressive, having collected just 11 points from their six home games so far. However, with the recent win and the team's determination, they will be eager to improve their home record and continue their climb up the table.

The eyes of Valur fans will be on Tryggvi, who will be aiming to get back on the scoresheet after being unable to find the net in the last game. Currently second on the league's goalscorers chart with eight goals and five assists, Tryggvi has been a key contributor to Valur's attacking prowess. Additionally, the 25-year-old Adam Palsson made an impact in their previous match, opening the scoring. He has also been in fine form, having scored seven goals and provided five assists this season.

With a potent attacking duo and a strong desire to secure another victory, Valur will be looking to build on their recent success and maintain their challenge at the top of the table.

Fylkir will be eager to bounce back from their recent loss to Breiðablik as they aim for a more favorable result in their upcoming game. The team has struggled to find wins recently, going five games without a victory, including two draws and three losses.

Currently sitting in 11th place on the table, Fylkir have accumulated 12 points from 14 games. They have shown some potency in attack, scoring 21 goals, but their defensive record of conceding 33 goals has proven to be a weakness.

Fylkir find themselves second to last on the table, with only a three-point advantage over bottom-placed Keflavik. The team will be aware of the importance of improving their form to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.

One area where Fylkir have struggled is their away performances. They have managed to collect just two points from their six away games this season, which mirrors their overall form of just two points gained from their last five league matches.

Despite the individual contributions of Benedikt Gardarsson, who has scored five goals, and Oskar Borgborsson, who has netted four goals in the league, their performances have not translated into better results for the team as a whole.

As Fylkir aim to turn their fortunes around, they will be hoping that the attacking duo can continue to find the back of the net and provide the spark needed to improve the team's overall performance.

In search of better days, Fylkir must address their defensive vulnerabilities and find a way to translate individual performances into collective success. The upcoming game presents an opportunity for the team to rediscover their winning form and climb up the table.

Based on the recent history between Valur and Fylkir, Valur have had the upper hand in their head-to-head encounters. Out of the 12 games played between the two sides since 2018, Valur have emerged victorious in 8 matches, while Fylkir have managed just one win. Three games have ended in a draw.

In their most recent meeting, Valur secured a convincing 6-1 victory over Fylkir, showcasing their dominance in that particular match.

Furthermore, Valur's defensive record against Fylkir has been impressive, with seven clean sheets in their last 12 encounters.

Considering the H2H of these two sides and the fact that Valur have kept back-to-back clean sheets, there is a possibility that Valur could maintain their defensive solidity and keep a clean sheet in this upcoming match against Fylkir. For sure Valur will score more than once.
