Békéscsaba form and stats

Békéscsaba's results here at Kórház utcai stadion in the Merkantil Bank Liga have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 2 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Békéscsaba, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Preceding that match was a Hungarian Cup defeat to Diosgyor (0-3).
