Balassagyarmat VSE form and stats
Balassagyarmat was eliminated in the 6th round last season in the Hungarian Cup.With ten home NB 3: Nyugati games in a row without a win, the Balassagyarmat fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Gyongyos game long ago, can be stopped today. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Balassagyarmat to get some points in this home game.
In their previous game, led his Balassagyarmat VSE to a defeat in the NB 3: Nyugati match away at Putnok VSE. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Balassagyarmati Műfüves Pálya.
