Valur vs Leiknir Reykjavik Predictions

• Valur have only kept one clean sheet in their last eight games
• Both teams have netted in five successive Leiknir Reykjavík matches
• Valur are on a run of four wins from five at home

Valur looking to build on win

Valur finally ended a win for four successive defeats, three of which were in the league, when they beat table-topping Breidablik 3-2 last time out.

That result means there have been 30 goals in their nine league games so far, with both teams netting in six of those matches, including 80% of those on home soil.

Indeed, Heimir Guðjónsson’s side have netted in all of their ties at Hlíðarendi, where they have won four and lost one, while they have failed to score in just one of their last 22 games in all competitions.

Leiknir Reykjavík desperate for points

City rivals Leiknir Reykjavík meanwhile are enduring a tough campaign so far, picking up just four of an available 27 points.

They remain winless, but have drawn successive away games, while both teams have scored in their last four league outings.

Sigurdur Heidar Höskuldsson’s side have not recorded tasted success in the Urvalsdeild since August last year, and have not kept a clean sheet in six on the road in all competitions, with both teams scoring in four.

I predict that Valur will win this game with both teams scoring, selecting a heavy 3-1 victory as my correct score prediction.
