KR Reykjavik have shown some recent improvement in their form, going unbeaten in their last three matches with 2 draws and a win. In their previous match against Vikingur Reykjavik, they faced some challenges, conceding two goals in the first half, with one coming in the 9th minute and the other in the 31st minute. Despite this setback, KR Reykjavik displayed resilience and managed to level the score. Benony Andresson, their star player, provided hope with a goal in the 53rd minute, and experienced defender Jonsson Kristinn found the back of the net in the 73rd minute to secure a draw and maintain their unbeaten record over the past three matches.

In their game prior to the draw against Vikingur Reykjavik, KR Reykjavik aimed for a win but they couldn't go with the three points as they went home with a point, and the young star Bonony Andresson played a crucial role by scoring in the 79th minute. Andresson, an 18-year-old Iceland international, has been in excellent form, finding the back of the net 5 times in their last 6 matches across all competitions.

Looking at KR Reykjavik's recent form, they have won four of their last 11 matches, drawn three, and lost four in all competitions. This suggests a somewhat inconsistent record, but their recent unbeaten streak indicates an upward trajectory.

Currently sitting in the 6th position in the league, KR Reykjavik will be looking to maintain their form and potentially climb higher in the standings as the season progresses. The contributions of young talents like Bonony Andresson will likely play a significant role in their efforts.

Valur had a successful outing in their previous match against Stjarnan, securing all three points with a well-deserved victory. The game saw action in the first half when Birkir Heimisson, who scored in their previous match, found the back of the net just two minutes before the first half's stoppage time.  The win was sealed by Hlynur Freyr Karlsson, a young star midfielder, who scored in stoppage time, precisely at 90+8 minutes.

Looking at Valur's recent form, they have been performing admirably, winning six matches and drawing one out of their last 11 matches in all competitions. While they have also suffered three losses, their overall record reflects a team in good form.

Currently occupying the second position in the standings, Valur aim to maintain their excellent form and potentially climb even higher in the standings as the season progresses. With consistent performances and contributions from players like Birkir Heimisson and Hlynur Freyr Karlsson, they have a strong chance of achieving their goals.

Examining their recent head-to-head clashes dating back to August, 2021, it's clear that Valur have had the upper hand over KR Reykjavik. Valur have emerged victorious in 4 of these matches, while KR Reykjavik have won 1, and there has been 1 drawn match.

These encounters have been marked by a high number of goals, with a total of 22 goals scored in these games, averaging approximately 3.67 goals per match. This suggests that matches between these two teams tend to be entertaining and high-scoring affairs.

Based on the recent form, with Valur claiming 10 points in their last 5 games compared to KR Reykjavik's 4 points, it's evident that Valur are in better form going into the match. This suggests that Valur will have the upper hand.

Your expectation that the visitors (Valur) will win the second half and secure the overall win with goals coming from both sides seems reasonable given the form disparity between the two teams.
