Valur take on the visitors Fram in the round 10 match of Besta Deild Karla. The match will be played on Monday, June 2nd at Hlídarendi (Reykjavík).
Valur have been crowned Icelandic champions 23 times. Notably, the 2020 title was awarded to them during a COVID-affected season, when the campaign was paused and never resumed — Valur were top of the table at the time. However, since then, the team hasn’t been able to reclaim the crown. In 2024, they finished a disappointing third. This year has also been uneven, with the number of wins barely matching losses in recent matches. Still, in their last outing, they secured a confident 2-0 away win against local underdogs Afturelding.

Fram have made noticeable improvements in 2025. The Blues are one of the historic giants of Icelandic football with 18 league titles — though the last came back in 1990. Their most recent major silverware was a domestic cup in 2013. Last season they failed to make the top six, finishing with just 27 points in the regular phase and only third in the relegation group. This season started poorly too, with several defeats early on. However, May saw back-to-back wins over Vestri and city rivals KR Reykjavik. That positive momentum was halted last round in a frustrating 1-2 home loss to Akureyri — despite taking an early lead, Fram conceded twice in added time at the end of each half.
Five of the last six meetings between these sides were won by the home team. Valur took three of those, including both home fixtures, while Fram’s only success came on their own turf — and the sole draw also happened in Reykjavík. While the visitors have shown some promise lately, Valur remain the stronger side at home. Back the hosts to win with a -1.5 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Valur to win with -1.5 handicap.
