Maribor is the great favorite of this double. We have a pretty interesting duel.

Valur: Shape of the moment, latest results, statistics

Valur is Iceland’s representative in this double hand. The champion, however, is not doing well this season, occupying only 5th place, with 16 points accumulated in 12 rounds. The team still shows signs of rebound after winning 4 of the last 5 championship games. Several wins were at the score, like a 5-1 with Vestmannaeyjar on their own. In the past, Valur managed to score three times in success with Akureyri. The hosts have scored 13 in the last 5 stages. Valur managed to win only 3 of the last 8 official games played on his own ground.

Maribor: Form of the moment, latest results, statistics

On the other side, the Slovenian champion is still in the race. They played 5 friendly games and did not impress too much. Maribor was defeated by Akhmat Grozny, Craiova and Slovacko. Instead, the guests crushed the modest Dravinja with a score of 10-0 and defeated Gorica with a score of 4-1. Maribor was close to a perfect domestic season. The team missed the chance to make the event, after a failure in the final of the cup, 2-1 in front of O. Ljubljana. Maribor never made it to Valur.

Valur vs Maribor Picks

Maribor is the favorite of this duel because of the value of the batch. They also have the experience of European Cups and I do not think they will be defeated from Iceland. Valur, however, is a dangerous team, in a peak of form, and on their own land they can produce a surprise. I’m expecting a duel in which both bands will force the offensive and goals are likely to occur.

Our Prediction: X2

Odds: 1.55
