There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Ajka leading Kaposvári Rákóczi by 19 points.

Insights:
  • Ajka haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
  • Kaposvári Rákóczi have the fewest scored goals in the second half (16) in Merkantil Bank Liga

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Ajka are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Kaposvári Rákóczi are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Kaposvári Rákóczi form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kaposvári Rákóczi so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 2-6-8 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row. It's a growing despair in Kaposvári Rákóczi as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Prior to that match, the Kaposvári manager P. Várhidi faced defeat when travelling to Szeged 2011 and losing 0-2.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kaposvári manager P. Várhidi as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against DEAC.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Kaposvári have conceded 25 goals in their away games.
