Valur take on the visitors Keflavik in the round 12 match of Iceland Besta-Deild League. The match will be played on Monday, July 11th at Hlídarendi (Reykjavík).
Valur are considered to be one of the strongest in Iceland. They have 23 titles in the national championship of the country. Moreover, in 2017-2020, the “gyrfalcons” took “gold” medals three times. All the more painful was the blow in the last draw, when the favorite fell to the 5th position, almost in the middle of the standings. There were hopes among the fans in Reykjavik that this was an exception, that now it would be possible to return to their former positions. But it is already clear that there will be no trophy, Breidablik is very strong. Moreover, at the moment the historical grand is not even in the top three! But the capital team should not be underestimated either. There was a strong start, with 4 wins and a draw with Hafnarfjordur in the first 5 rounds. Then there was a sharp failure, with 3 defeats in a row. But then there was a pause for the games of the national teams, and the coaching staff successfully used it. In June, it was Valur who stopped the current leader by beating Breidablik 3-2. After that, Leiknir also was defeated, and on Monday they recorded 1-1 on the Akureyri field.

Keflavik have been good half a century ago. It was then they took most of her trophies, including all their championship titles. At the beginning of the new century, in 2004 and 2006, they managed to win the Icelandic Cup for the last time. And in European competitions they have not started since 2009. Since then, including in 2019-2020, they had to play in the 2nd division of the country. The 2021 championship ended with only 10th place in the final standings. Now they managed to achieve progress, including in the last rounds. Having completely failed the start (all 4 first rounds ended in defeats), Keflavik quickly managed to reach the level, when in the last 4 fights they scored 10 points out of 12 possible. This allowed us to rise to 7th place in the table. However, this is still the bottom part of the standings.
Keflavik last won a head-to-head in 2014. And all 6 recent matches were won by Valur, however, often with a minimal advantage. Bookmakers are confident in the victory of "Valur". But Keflavik is also very good now, so it’s better to bet on “total over 3.0 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
