Betting suggestion:

This match puts face-to-face teams with very dubious game models, but Valur is more organized in different moments of the game. In this way, we believe that the locals have the best chances to score goals, however, Sheriff transitions should create several difficulties for the local team. Taking into account also the successive offensive failures of the teams, betting in favor of a game with few goals is a good option.

Preview
Valur and Sheriff face at Vodafonevöllurinn (Valsvöllur), in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Europa League (3rd Qualifying Round), after the (1‑0) home win by Sheriff in the 1st leg match. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Valur

The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with a disadvantage of 1 goal, apart from the drawback of not having scored any away goals in the 1st leg. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. They come to this match after a home win against Grindavík by (4‑0). Valur has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 7 of their 20 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Valur comes for this game with a 4-0 victory over Grindavík, in a match for the Iceland Cup. We remember that the Icelanders lost in the first leg of the third round and for this reason must necessarily add a victory. In this home game coach Ólafur Jóhannesson should act with a strategy very similar to the last game, that is, benefiting ball possession and the organized attacks, especially, through the right aisle. Patrick Pedersen is one of the great highlights of the Valur team, being this very strong player in the finalization. Out due to injury continues Christiansen.

Confirmed Lineup: Anton Ari Einarsson, Birkir Már Sævarsson, Sebastian Hedlund, Bjarni Ólafur Eiríksson, Eiður Aron Sigurbjörnsson, Einar Karl Ingvarsson, Haukur Páll Sigurðsson, Andri Adolphsson, Kristinn Freyr Sigurðsson, Patrick Pedersen, Dion Jeremy Acoff.

Analysis Sheriff

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 1 goal, but has suffered 0 goals at home in the 1st leg. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 37 goals scored and 6 conceded. In their last match, for the Divizia Națională, they got a home win against Speranţa Nisporeni by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Sheriff has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4.

Sheriff comes for this game with a 2-0 victory over Sperante Nisporeni, adding the second victory followed in several competitions. We remember that the Moldovans are in advantage due to the 1-0 home victory over Valur. In this away game, coach Goran Sablic is expected to play in 4-3-3 with a focus on organizing his block, exploiting fast transitions on most occasions. Antun Palic is a fundamental player in the tactical scheme of the Sheriff's team, who is responsible for organizing and creating the offensive process. It seems that the coach can count on his usual players.

Confirmed Lineup: Serghei Paşcenco, Cristiano, Ante Kulušić, Mateo Sušić, Veaceslav Posmac, Gheorghe Anton, Evgheni Oancea, Yuri Kendysh, Gerson Rodrigues, Ziguy Badibanga, Alhaji Kamara.
