In the hot summer, Nordic events have been our focus in recent times. Today, the Icelandic Super League has 3 matches scheduled, let's talk about the battle between Wallur and Keflavik.
12th round of the Icelandic Super League
[5] Wallur vs Keflavik[7]
When: July 12, 03:15
Wallur is also a traditional club of the Icelandic Super League, having won the league 23 times in history, as well as 11 Icelandic Cups and 3 Icelandic League Cups. Beginning in the late 1980s, they experienced a long slump, and after winning their first league title in 20 years in 2007, they fell silent for another 10 years. In the past 5 years, they have found the feeling of a traditional giant, winning the league three times in 2017, 2018 and 2020.
Compared with Wallur, Keflavik's historical status is obviously more than one notch worse, with a history of 93 years, they have only won four league titles in history, the most recent of which was in 1973, and the most recent was the 2006 Icelandic Cup. Over the past 10 years, they have also been tossing and turning between the Icelandic Super League and the First Division. Last season, as a promotion horse, it eventually ranked third from the bottom, and successfully relegated with a 1-point advantage.
Last season, Walluer performed averagely, finishing only 5th, 9 points less than champion Vikinggur, and finally did not even catch a European qualifying place. The overall performance this season has also been tepid, with 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the first 11 rounds, still in fifth place, and has been thrown off by 11 points by the leader Berdad than Lek. In the last round of visiting Agueri, they also failed to achieve a win-win reversal.
However, being able to take a point away from the Third-place opponent on the road is not disappointing. And, had it not been for midfielder Treg was left with a 1-0 lead, they would have had a good chance of winning three straight. In the previous two games, they have defeated leaders Berdale Andrei and Reyknil at home, and have come out of the haze of four consecutive defeats in the League Cup.
In the first 11 rounds, Varour scored 20 goals, and his attack power was in the second gear of the Icelandic Super League, not as good as the top two, but it was ok. They don't have a very strong goalscorer, with the most goalscoring striker Haralderson and winger Smarasen scoring four goals each, but winning at more points of attack, with 10 already scoring.
Keflavik, who will be relegated last season, started the season badly and has rebounded well recently, going unbeaten in four consecutive rounds after beating Fram 3-1 at home in the last round, during which he grabbed 10 points. You know, they only got 4 points in the previous 7 rounds.
However, it is worth mentioning that Keflavik's previous 4 victories were all won in the face of opponents who are currently ranked lower than themselves, and in the face of higher ranking opponents, the only record they have come up with is the previous home 2-2 draw with the currently ranked 4th-ranked Garzabayer star, the situation of "strong is weak" is still quite obvious, at the same time, they have lost 6 consecutive games against Walluer, the last 11 meetings have 1 draw and 10 losses, and the away game is also facing the "nemesis" who is also rebounding significantly. They should have a hard time reaping the benefits.
