Head-to-head statistics Vestmannaeyjar - Valur
IBV Vestmannaeyjar Team Overview
Three points separate Alexandar Linta's side from the safety of tenth place: Þór sit on 21, the islanders on 18. Two teams go down, and Vestmannaeyjar have four rounds left. On Saturday KA and Þór play each other, so the hosts will take to the pitch already knowing their neighbours' result. The islanders threw away two points in September themselves. On 6 September they were leading Stjarnan by two goals with 13 minutes to go, then conceded twice in two minutes and the match ended 2-2. A week later Stjarnan hosted the islanders again and kept them scoreless and pointless. And that is not an isolated episode: Vestmannaeyjar have conceded in 25 of their last 26 league matches.

Valur Reykjavik Team Overview
Valur changed their manager at the end of June, the day after a away win over Thor. Hermannn Hreiðarsson was sacked with the club sitting fifth. His assistant Chris Brazell was put in charge for the remainder of the season, with Halldór Arnason taking over from 1 November. The change produced no surge: across the nine rounds before the table split, Valur picked up eight points and failed to make the top group. They currently have two consecutive wins and sit second in the lower group, one point behind Stjarnan. In the last round, Valur beat Thor and scored four goals. The third was scored by Patrick Pedersen - the league's all-time top scorer, who returned this summer after an Achilles rupture. Their one weakness is the defence: Valur have conceded in 15 consecutive league matches.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Vestmannaeyjar have gone ten consecutive league matches without a win. Their attack is the main problem: they have not scored more than two goals in any of their last 13 league games. Valur, by contrast, have scored at least two goals in 7 of their last 8 league matches. If the visitors do the same on Sunday, the hosts will need three goals to win. We do not expect Vestmannaeyjar to take all three points in this match. Our bet is Valur not to lose. Predicted score - 1:2.
