Úrvalsdeild
There are three games from the top tier in Iceland on Saturday and this one sees Valur travel to face IBV, with the home side struggling near the bottom, and the away side looking good towards the top of the standings.
IBV Form GuideOverall, it's not been too good from IBV this season, they have lost seven of their 11 games so far, and that's led them to be just one spot off the bottom of the table, three points clear of struggling Keflavik. However, they can get hope from the fact that very recently, they've gone two unbeaten, with a win and a draw from those games.
There's still plenty to do, but for example, their three wins so far is actually the same as 7th placed Reykjavik, but they've not been picking up many draws alongside. They did draw their last game, the first draw they've picked up this season, and it came against the side we've just mentioned, 7th placed Reykjavik.
Valur Form GuideAs we go into the games over the weekend, Valur are sat in second place after a very promising start, they have 26 points and that means they are five off the top spot. From 12 games, they've managed to win eight, with two draws and just two defeats so far, a very good record they will be looking to keep going as long as possible.
In their most recent fixture, Valur ran out very impressive 5-0 winners away from home against Kopavogur, a game they controlled from start to finish. Away from home, they've been good, winning three of their last four away games, and have been scoring for fun, with 12 goals in their three victories away from home recently.
Match PredictionWe've got a game between a side needing points at the bottom, and one needing points at the top. It is the team at the top, Valur, who are my pick to win this one. They've been in good form all season so far, and importantly, are playing well away from home, as well as scoring for fun in those games. They are taken to follow up that big away win last time, by winning another away game here.
