Nordsjaelland host Valur at Right to Dream Park in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League Third Qualifying Round tie. The Danish side already secured a 2-0 win in the first leg, meaning Valur need to score at least three unanswered goals to progress, a task that looks daunting given the form of both sides. Nordsjaelland are firm favorites to advance, and the aggregate scoreline gives them every reason to play with confidence at home.
Two players worth tracking are midfielder Nicklas Rojkjaer, who has four goals in his last six matches for Nordsjaelland, and Valur forward Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson, who leads his side with four goals in five appearances and carries the most realistic threat of pulling something back for the visitors.
A standout stat from the recent run of games: Nordsjaelland scored 12 goals across their last five matches, firing 117 total shots in that same period. That is a sharp attacking output, and it underlines just how difficult it will be for Valur to contain them over 90 minutes.

Nordsjaelland vs Valur Prediction
With a 2-0 first-leg lead and home advantage, Nordsjaelland have every structural advantage going into this match. Valur have lost four of their last seven games and have shown little consistency in recent weeks. Nordsjaelland, playing in front of their own fans and with the tie essentially in hand, are likely to control the match without taking unnecessary risks.
We predict a Nordsjaelland win and clean sheet. The hosts have kept Valur scoreless once already in this tie, and the Icelandic side managed just 59 total shots across their last five matches combined. There is no real incentive for Nordsjaelland to overcommit, but their quality in the final third should still produce goals.
Nordsjaelland average close to 24 shots per game in recent fixtures, and their pass accuracy in the last five matches sits well above Valur’s. The hosts dominate the ball, press forward with purpose, and create sustained pressure. Valur, by contrast, play a 3-4-3 that can leave them exposed on the flanks when their press breaks down.
Nordsjaelland commit fouls at a moderate rate, while Valur’s 28 fouls across five matches is notably low, suggesting they sit off rather than press aggressively. That tendency to give space could work against them here.

Team Analysis
Nordsjaelland come into this second leg in solid form, having won four of their last ten games across all competitions while drawing two. Their most recent result in the first leg of this very tie was a clean-sheet 2-0 victory over Valur, a professional and controlled display. Before that, they beat Randers FC 1-0 in the Danish league and put six goals past GAIS in a dominant cup performance. The only blemish in recent weeks was a 0-1 defeat to GAIS in an earlier fixture, which looks like an outlier given the overall output.
Valur arrive under real pressure. They have won just two of their last seven matches, and the 0-2 first-leg loss at home to Nordsjaelland was a difficult result to absorb. Their most recent domestic outing ended in a 3-1 win over Breidablik, which offers some confidence, but before that they lost 2-3 to Stjarnan and drew 2-2 with Zrinjski across two legs in the previous qualifying round. The pattern is inconsistent, and a side that loses heavily at home in the first leg rarely finds the resolve to turn things around away from home.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Nordsjaelland the Favourite
- Moneyline Nordsjaelland 1.07 | Valur 22.00
- Draw 10.00
- Over/Under Over 2.5 — | Under 2.5 —
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes — | No —
The odds tell the whole story here. Nordsjaelland are priced as near-certainties, with most bookmakers offering around 1.05 to 1.08 on the home win. Those margins are tight, and the value is minimal on the straight win market. The draw at around 10.00 and Valur win at 22.00 reflect just how one-sided the aggregate picture is. Given the odds compression on the home win, the better play is to look at a Nordsjaelland win to nil, which carries more value and aligns with how this tie has unfolded.
Possible Starting Lineups
Nordsjaelland Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Andreas Hansen
- DF: Peter Ankersen, Justin Janssen, Tobias Salquist, Juho Lähteenmäki
- MF: Mark Brink, Runar Robinsonn Norheim, Villum Berthelsen, Nicklas Rojkjaer
- FW: Prince Amoako Junior, Ibrahim Adel
Jens Olsen’s side has been consistent in personnel across recent fixtures, and this 4-2-3-1 shape suits their style well. Andreas Hansen is the clear starter in goal, having featured in all six tracked appearances. The back four picks itself, with Tobias Salquist and Justin Janssen both offering strong pass counts and defensive solidity. Runar Robinsonn Norheim is a key presence with three goals in six matches, while Nicklas Rojkjaer leads the team with four goals in that same run. Hjalte Rasmussen provides energy from midfield, and Ibrahim Adel is a creative threat out wide with two assists recently.
Valur Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Frederik Agust Schram
- DF: Hólmar Örn Eyjólfsson, Markus Nakkim, Myles Veldman
- MF: Samúel Kári Friðjónsson, Lúkas Logi Heimisson, Birkir Heimisson, Jónatan Ingi Jónsson
- FW: Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson, Dagur Orri Gardarson, Albin Skoglund
Christopher Brazell looks set to persist with a 3-4-3 setup, which gives Valur some width and an aggressive forward line. Frederik Agust Schram starts in goal with 15 saves across the tracked period. Markus Nakkim leads the backline with nine interceptions, giving Valur their best defensive anchor. Tryggvi Hrafn Haraldsson is the one to watch up front, with four goals and three yellow cards in six games, he plays with intensity and is Valur’s most likely source of goals in this match. Jónatan Ingi Jónsson adds a second attacking option with two goals and two assists.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Nordsjaelland hold all the cards here. They won the first leg 2-0, they play at home, and their recent statistics across shots, pass accuracy, and goals scored all point toward a side in far better shape than their opponents. Valur’s attacking numbers are modest, and their inconsistent run of results offers little reason to expect a dramatic turnaround.
We predict a Nordsjaelland win with a clean sheet. Their 4-2-3-1 gives them midfield control, and Valur’s 3-4-3 may leave gaps on the counter that the hosts can exploit. Rojkjaer and Norheim are both in form and capable of finding the net again. To be honest, Valur’s chances of overturning this tie are close to zero, and the match is likely to confirm Nordsjaelland’s progression to the next round with a comfortable home victory.
