Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Békéscsaba & Diósgyőr face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Hungarian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Békéscsaba form and stats
Békéscsaba have reached this Hungarian Cup stage through battling and winning against Vac. Békéscsaba was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Hungarian Cup. Puskás was too strong.The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the NB 2 this season. Békéscsaba have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Kórház utcai stadion. The Békéscsaba manager S. Schindler might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Békéscsaba's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Szentlőrinc SE. A strong away win before that one, visiting Csakvari TK and winning 5-3.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Békéscsaba as they are travelling to their away game against Szombathelyi Haladás in the NB 2. That match is three days after this one.
The Békéscsaba fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.
Diósgyőr form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Balassagyarmat VSE in order to reach 32nd Finals of Hungarian Cup. Diósgyőr was sent out of Hungarian Cup in the 8th round last season.It's not happening yet for Diósgyőr on their NB 1 travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Bitter travels for Diósgyőr as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the MOL Vidi match.
The supporters enjoyed Diósgyőr's previous game versus Puskás, a NB 1 3-0 win played at home. A 1-2 defeat away at Budafoki MTE before that.
It was a convincing performance from Diósgyőr when Puskás were beaten. The team "killed" the match in the first half leading 3-0 and the second half was comfortable. Gheorghe Grozav, Stefan Dražić and Mirko Ivanovski scored their goals.
Diósgyőr has another fixture away, a NB 1 game, against Várda SE in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
It's early days yet, but Diósgyőr has scored 2 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
