Valur hosted Fram in the Olísdeildin on Thursday evening, but the visitors carried the match 40:47 in a result that upended early expectations. Both sides arrived having won their opening fixtures, each sitting on two points from one game.
Fram's victory moves them into third place, while Valur drop to fifth. The hosts had started brightly against Selfoos three days earlier, but this time they were unable to contain an away side that saw it out comfortably.
Our prediction called for a Valur win at 54 per cent confidence. The match went another way — Fram's familiarity with this fixture from March, when they met Valur away, seemed to show in their composure.
The result ends Valur's clean-slate optimism after their opening-night success. Fram, meanwhile, hold every card heading into the next round with momentum behind them.
