KR Reykjavik vs Valur Reykjavik
KR will host Valur in Iceland Urvalsdeild’s 9th week on Thursday (6/20). KR will target the victory to continue to be at the top of the standings.
KR performed very well at the start of the Iceland League this season. Of the 8 games they have played, KR successfully collected 17 points which made them temporarily sit in the top spot of the Iceland League. KR should not weaken their intensity considering their position is still far from safe, which is only 1 point ahead of Breidablik in second place.
On the other hand, Valur itself appeared disappointing. The defending champions in the last two seasons of the Iceland League are only able to collect 7 points from their 8 appearances. As a result, Valur must be willing to sit in rank 9 and only 2 points adrift of the relegation zone.
The decline in Valur’s performance at the start of this season will certainly be an opportunity for KR to beat while widening their distance with Valur. By playing at home, KR was increasingly confident to be able to defeat the defending champions. However, KR must remain vigilant considering the scent of the resurrection of Valur began to unfold which in his last match successfully finished off the IBV with a score of 5-1.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.80
