Valur take on the visitors Leiknir in the round 10 match of Icelandic elite division. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 21st at Hlídarendi (Reykjavík).
Valur still cannot regain the positions they lost last season. In 2020 (and before that in a row in 2017 and 2018) thye became the champions of the country. Against this background, the last draw was quite unsuccessful, on the verge of failure: only 5th place. Of course, they wanted to prove that this is a one-time exception. But now the results of the wards of Heimir Gudjohnsen are also rather mediocre. The start was good, in the first 5 rounds the points were lost only with Hafnarfjordur (away 2-2). But since mid-May, there have been failures in the form of a series of defeats. At the same time, it turned out in the last round to impose serious resistance on the leader, Breidablik. They bounced back from 0-2, but in the end, Pedersen scored the decisive goal in the 94th minute, bringing a sensational victory to the underdog.

Leiknir are seen as one of the top contenders for a relegation. "Blue Garnet" started to play in the elite division of the country not so long ago. But at the same time, they managed to prove themselves well, showing the qualities of a truly “cup” team. In 2013-2016, we managed to reach the cup final three times, and in two cases win the trophy. At the same time, in the championship, as a rule, everything came down to the simple target to avoid relegation In 2021, they coped with this task, taking 7th place. So far, nothing close has been achieved even at that level. For a long time, the outsider of the draw could not even win even once, alternating defeats with draws. However, in recent match on the field of Hafnarfjordur, they snatch 2-2 in the very end.
Valur had a convincing streak of 5 wins and a draw in 6 head-to-heads in 2017-2021. But in August last year, Leiknir was able to finally win due to the only goal of Escobar in the 81st minute. Valur is seen as the undisputed favorite. But it could take a lot of effort to defeat the leader of the season. So, we recommend that you take a closer look at "both to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
