Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Vasas & Honvéd face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Hungarian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
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.

An away draw last time out for Vasas, facing Puskas in a game that ended 1-1.
