They also participated in Hungarian Cup last season. This ended in the 8th finals, when MOL Vidi drew the shortest straw.

Újpest have only collected 15 points from their away games in the NB 1, after 4-3-9 (16 played). When we have look at the Hungarian Cup statistics, we find 5W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. Újpest seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Újpest might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. MTK proved too strong as Újpest slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Szusza Ferenc Stadion. A 0-3 defeat away at Ferencvaros before that.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Újpest have scored 20 goals in 16 league games away. For Újpest, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
