Békéscsaba form and stats

With 1 Merkantil Bank Liga win, 3 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Békéscsaba are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Békéscsaba to get some points in this home game. Three consecutive losses here at Kórház utcai stadion is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Békéscsaba are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 287 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by R. Lukacs).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-5 away at Szombathelyi Haladás.

This is expected to be a close game, with Békéscsaba perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Békéscsaba as a small favourite), we find two games. Békéscsaba has won zero of these, drawn one and lost one.

The manager S. Schindler will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Szolnoki MÁV in only three days.

Békéscsaba are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 7 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Békéscsaba defense is not exactly impregnable. 12 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Siófok form and stats

Siófok have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Merkantil Bank Liga, after 1-1-5 (7 played).

The supporters enjoyed Siófok's previous game versus Kazincbarcika (placed 15th), a Merkantil Bank Liga 3-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Győri ETO wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Siófok playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Siófok wins, zero draws and three defeats.

A new game in only three days for Siófok, the Merkantil Bank Liga home match versus Csákvári TK. Busy days.
