Valur are sixth with 19 points, though they took silver a year ago. The change of manager has so far changed nothing: in the previous round the team lost at home to Stjarnan (2:3), conceding the winning goal in the final minutes.
Valur's away defence is their biggest problem: they have conceded in 21 of their last 22 away matches and have gone nine rounds in a row without a clean sheet. That said, they have not suffered a heavy defeat on the road in 11 matches in a row. And their best moment of the season came against Breidablik: in May, a corner from Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson in added time deflected off defender Ivar Örn Jonsson into his own net (3:2).

Editor's Pick
Five goals in the May meeting shouldn't be misleading: since then both sides have seen changes in schedule, form, and squad. In Breiðablik's last five matches, fewer than four goals were scored. Valur away from home tell the same story - fewer than five goals in 6 of their last 7 away matches.
The hosts will get the job done at home, there's little doubt about that. But big scorelines aren't happening for them right now, and the visitors, for all their defensive problems, have been avoiding heavy defeats. The bet is total under 3.5 goals. Predicted score - 2:1.
