Valur looking to avenge recent defeat
Fram Reykjavik have posted a mixed bag of results in recent weeks, winning just one of their last five league matches. Runar Kristinsson’s side, who play in either a 3-5-2 or 5-3-2, have seen their all-action, all-pressing, wing-back system, which sees them try to press opponents out of possession as high up the field as possible, yield a sequence of 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. They drew 2-2 away to FH Hafnarfjordur before losing 2-1 away to Vikingur Reykjavik in their most recent games. In this Fram Reykjavik vs Valur Reykjavik preview, both teams are seeking to bounce back from recent inconsistency and ignite their season.
Valur Reykjavik have also seen better days in Besta deild karla 2025, winning one, drawing one and losing three of their last five matches. Srdjan Tufegdzic, appointed as manager in August 2024, has brought a more balanced and structured style to the team, with the 4-3-3 set up being built around possession-based football but with direct balls over the top to Patrick Pedersen, Valur’s target-man up front, and alternating between coordinated pressing and a deeper block when out of possession.
Fram can frustrate the champions
Valur’s form is poor, with one win, one draw and three losses in their last five league games, and they come into this Reykjavik rivalry game after losing 2-1 at Fram and 2-1 at Stjarnan before drawing 1-1 with Breidablik Kopavogur last time out. Kristinsson’s men are no pushovers though, with six wins, two draws and just three defeats at home, conceding just 10 goals in 11 games.
Fram will be desperate to continue their good home form and Valur will be looking to exact revenge for their defeat just a few weeks ago. With local pride and league standing at stake, we can expect two very motivated teams to go all-out and leave it all on the pitch on Sunday. According to our Fram Reykjavik vs Valur Reykjavik prediction, the odds look even for a winner in this game at 2.0, with the draw coming in at 3.7, which is too tight for a Reykjavik derby where each side has one victory over the other in the last head-to-head meetings, and Valur haven’t won any of their last three trips to Fram.
