Game preview & prediction

Hottur will host Valur on 19 November 2026 in the Premier league, with Valur the clear favourite as the model gives the away side a 61% chance of victory against Hottur's 39%. Hottur, 2-4 this season, averages 92.0 points and allows 101.5, while Valur, 5-1, scores 84.2 and concedes 78.8, positioning them fourth in the standings. At home Hottur has split its two games 1-1, averaging 90.5 points and 88.0 allowed, and has gone 2-3 in its last five, losing to KR Basket 92-112, Tindastoll 73-80 and Keflavik 99-112. Valur has been unbeaten on the road, 2-0, with 89.5 points and 79.0 allowed, and has gone 4-1 in its last five, dropping only to Alftanes 68-80 at home but winning 86-73 and 87-84 against Sindri and Armann respectively. Historically Valur has dominated the rivalry, winning eight of ten meetings, most recently 92-58 on 7 February 2025. The model projects a 86-89 scoreline and 174.7 total points, with a 5% chance of overtime; Valur's probability of covering the home team's line remains unprovided.
