Valur take on the visitors Stjarnan in the round 14 match of Icelandic Besta Deild Karla. The match will be played on Thursday, May 30th at Hlídarendi (Reykjavík).
Valur try to stay among the leaders. The Falcons are one of the most successful local teams, boasting 23 championship titles and numerous other trophies. However, since their last gold in 2020, they've only managed to add the League Cup last year. They also finished second in the championship that season. They started this season with a confident 2-0 win against Akranes, but then only added a couple of points from draws with Fylkir at home and Fram away, and a 0-1 loss to Stjarnan. However, they picked up excellent momentum in May with consecutive wins over Breidablik, Akureyri, and Kopavogur. In their last match, they were held to a 2-2 draw with Hafnarfjordur.

Stjarnan are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their championship title. The 2014 success remains their only one, although they won the cup in 2018 and two Super Cups. In this context, the bronze from last season was a decent result. The new cycle began with a couple of clear defeats, 0-2 to Vikingur and 1-3 to KR Reykjavik. However, they had a good spell at the end of April with three consecutive wins over Valur, Fylkir, and Akranes. But then things took a turn for the worse: a 1-1 home draw with Fram and a 1-2 loss away to Breidablik. They bounced back with a 5-0 home thrashing of Akureyri, allowing them to return to 4th place.
In the last 7 head-to-head matches, the home team has always won. This includes the April match where the Stars won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Birgisson. The Falcons have been more stable recently and are playing on their home turf. Therefore, we predict that the home team will secure a victory in this match.
Prediction for the match: Valur to win.
