Two teams separated by just three points in Iceland's top flight will meet on Monday night, when Valur play host to Fram.
Valur initially struggled to secure victories, winning only one of their opening five games, but their fortunes have improved as the season has progressed. The hosts boast three wins from their last four league games and they also secured a 2:1 victory over Throttur in round 16 of the Icelandic Men’s Football Cup during this period.
Knattspyrnufélagið Fram also had a mixed start to their 2025 campaign, picking up two wins and suffering three defeats in their opening five games. They responded with a 4-2 win over KA in the Icelandic Men’s Football Cup round of 16, and have been impressive ever since. With two wins from their last three league games, Rúnar Kristinsson’s team will be feeling confident ahead of Monday's match.
Valur vs Fram Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Valur have been in formidable form in their recent home games, and I expect them to maintain this level of performance on Monday. The hosts scored 13 goals in their last four league games at this ground, and bets on over 2.5 goals won in all but one of their last four games across all competitions.
Knattspyrnufélagið can also score goals on a good day. They have scored in each of their last four matches, including three or more goals in half of those fixtures. With the last meeting between Valur and Fram also ending in a five-goal thriller, Monday’s game is likely to be a high-scoring affair.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Valur team news
There were no injury problems in the 2-0 win over Afturelding last time out, so it won’t be a surprise if head coach Srdjan Tufegdzic sticks with the same XI.
Patrick Pedersen's goal in that game was his 8th in just nine games, and the Danish forward is expected to lead the line against Fram on Monday.

Fram team news
Már Ágústsson lasted only half an hour in the defeat to KA last time before being substituted, so the defender likely won't be in the XI on Tuesday.
Alex Freyr Elísson and Adam Örn Arnarson are in contention for a place in the starting eleven, possibly in defence, whilst Róbert Hauksson is expected to keep his place in attack.
