The Icelandic football league is also on a roll right now. Valur has had 12 matches this season and got 25 points after them. The goal difference Is 20-11 which is a good result to compete with Stjarnan in their local championship for the first place. The Valsarar had 10 matches on the away side in 2018 and got 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Last week Valur shocked fans and beat Rosenborg scoring a final goal in the last minutes of that match. The Troll Children should take revenge in the upcoming match with the help of their home crowd and go through to the next round of the tournament. Quite frankly the level of football club competition in Norway is higher than in Island. Also the team from Trondheim has been of the strongest Scandinavian clubs for last several years.
Prediction for the match: Rosenborg to win with -1.5 handicap.
