Valur will host Fylkir at the Hlíðarendi Stadium on Saturday. Both sides have failed to get a victory in their last two games, with Valur losing two and Fylkir losing and drawing one each. However, Fylkir are without a win away from home this season. Can they get the first here? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

Valur are out of the Icelandic Cup after losing 3-2 to Akureyri in the semi-final, which was played during the midweek. In the league, Valur suffered a 3-2 loss against Akranes in their last game. Jonatan Ingi Jonsson put Valur ahead in the 14th minute before Jon Gisli Eyland Gislason levelled for Akranes in the 26th minute. However, Bjarni Antonsson Duffield scored in his own net in the 36th minute to put Akranes ahead before Elfar Helgason brought Valur's hope alive as he found the back of the net in the 50th minute. Steinar Thorsteinsson scored in the final minute of the game to give Akranes all 3 points. 

With these poor results, Valur have lost their last two games in all competitions. They had previously, before the two losses, remained unbeaten in their previous 12 games in all competitions. However, at home, they remain unbeaten in their last 11 games in all competitions. They have not lost at home in the league this season. They sit 3rd in the league with 25 points from 13 games, scoring 32 goals and conceding 18.

Fylkir fought from behind twice to get a 2-2 draw against KR Reykjavik in their last game. Kristjan Floki Finnbogason scored the game’s first goal in the 37th minute to put KR ahead before Thoroddur Vikingsson got the leveller for Fylkir in the 51st minute. Kristjan Floki Finnbogason scored again in the 52nd before Nikulas Gunnarsson got a point for Fylkir got a point for his side in the 72nd minute.

With this result, they have seen a win in their last five games. They are without a win away from home this season. Fylkir are currently at the bottom of the league with 8 points in 12 games, scoring 18 goals and conceding 32. They have only picked up just 1 point away from home this season.

Both sides have met ten times since 2020. Valur won 8, and 2 ended in draws. The last match between them ended in a 0-0 draw. 

Valur are far better than Fylkir, based on the league statistics. Additionally, since 2020, Fylkir have yet to win a single match against Valur. With this, I expect Valur to win right away from the first 45 minutes of the game. Moreover, I expect Valur to keep a clean sheet in this game, which is the same trend that happened in the last two games between the two sides.
