Fylkir FC vs Valur Reykjavík Prediction: Another Cup in the sights of two Reykjavík sides

After an impressive display from Fylkir FC and Valur Reykjavík in the semifinals of the Iceland League Cup, both sides will lock horns at the Würth völlurinn on Saturday. Fylkir FC are winless in their last 16 games against Valur Reykjavík. Can they get a win when it really matters? Below, I have the team news, expert betting tips, and odds.

Fylkir FC

Fylkir secured a 2-1 win over KR Reykjavik in the semifinals of this tournament, with Eythor Wohler scoring the winning goal of the game in the 90+3rd minute of this game. The 23-year-old striker has now scored four goals in his last three games. Prior to the semis, Fylkir defeated Njardvik 3-0 in their quarterfinals clash, with two goals from Eythor Wohler and another from Gudmundur Tyrfingsson doing the magic. Fylkismenn finished first in Group 2 with 11 points in 5 games, scoring two goals and conceding just two. They were able to edge out league winners Breidablik by a point.

Valur Reykjavík

Valur Reykjavík edged IR Reykjavik out of this competition in the semifinals despite playing with 10 men for around 60 minutes of the game after Ogmundur Kristinsson was sent off in the game in the 32nd minute, leading to a penalty kick scored by IR. Both sides played 2-2 in the regular time before Valur won 4-3 on penalties. Valur remain unbeaten in this competition. They secured four wins and played a 1-1 draw in their game against Akranes to give them 13 points in total, scoring 16 goals and conceding 3 in the group stage before defeating Vestri 2-1 in the quarterfinals.

Expert Betting Tips

Both sides have been impressive to make it to the final, and no doubt they will both contribute to making this game entertaining with goals, which is why this game will see lots of goals right from the first 45 minutes to the final whistle. However, Valur played with 10 men for around an hour in their last game but still managed to qualify to show how determined they were. They have been unbeaten in their previous 16 games against Fylkir, and I think they will find their way to victory again.

Our prediction for this match is for Valur to win for odds of 1.60 at 1xbet. 

Our second prediction is to see more than one goal in the first half for odds of 1.98 at Betway.

Our third prediction is to see more than three goals in the game at odds of 2.00 at Bet365.
