Valur vs Breidablik Prediction & Betting Tips (22 September)

Valur and Breidablik are set to reignite their rivalry on September 22nd in the Besta deild karla, with both sides chasing crucial points in the final stretch of the season. Valur, currently second in the table, have shown flashes of brilliance despite a recent dip in form, losing three of their last five league matches. Their attacking prowess remains potent, led by the prolific Patrick Pedersen and the dynamic Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson, who have combined for a flurry of goals in recent fixtures. Head coach Srdjan Tufegdzic will be banking on his side’s home advantage at N1-völlurinn Hlíðarenda, where Valur have averaged 2.5 points per game this season.

Breidablik, meanwhile, arrive in Reykjavík with a mixed bag of results. Sitting fourth in the standings, Halldór Árnason’s men have struggled for consistency, drawing and losing in equal measure over their last five outings. Their defensive line, anchored by Damir Muminović and Kristinn Jónsson, has been tested heavily, conceding multiple goals in recent matches. However, midfielders Höskuldur Gunnlaugsson and Viktor Karl Einarsson have provided sparks of creativity, and forward Óli Valur Ómarsson remains a threat in transition. Breidablik’s recent European outings, including a win over Virtus in the Champions League qualifiers, suggest they’re capable of rising to the occasion.

The last time these two met, Valur edged Breidablik 2-1 in a tightly contested affair, and the script may well repeat itself. Valur’s ability to control tempo and exploit defensive lapses has proven decisive in past meetings. With Pedersen’s clinical finishing and Haraldsson’s late surges into the box, Valur are likely to find the net twice. Breidablik, though, won’t go quietly. Their counter-attacking style and set-piece threat could yield a goal, especially if Gunnlaugsson finds space to deliver from deep.

Expect a match that balances tactical discipline with moments of chaos. Valur’s home form and attacking depth give them the edge, but Breidablik’s resilience ensures this won’t be a walkover. A 2-1 scoreline in favor of Valur feels not just plausible, but probable—mirroring their previous triumph and aligning with the momentum each side carries into this clash.
