A new Merkantil Bank Liga season is about to begin and this is the first proper game for Békéscsaba and Vác. Bring it on!

The attacking players of Vác have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 360 minutes.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Vác played away with similar odds. This revealed three games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected two times.

In total they scored 44 and conceded 47 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 5 and lost 8 with 26/30 goals scored/conceded.
