An important duel in the bottom section of the Merkantil Bank Liga, with both DEAC and Kazincbarcika experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 19th and the visitors in 18th place.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for DEAC and Kazincbarcika.

DEAC form and stats

2 victories, 0 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what DEAC have to build on here at Nagyerdei Stadion in the Merkantil Bank Liga. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Nagyerdei Stadion.

DEAC are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Gyirmót. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Győri ETO in a game that was won 3-2.

The game against Gyirmót was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for DEAC as they are travelling to their away game against Balatonfuredi in the Hungarian Cup. That match is three days after this one.

DEAC has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the DEAC defense is not exactly impregnable. 7 goals conceded from 4 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Kazincbarcika form and stats

The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Merkantil Bank Liga.

The attacking players of Kazincbarcika have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 240 minutes.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Merkantil Bank Liga home defeat versus Győri ETO with 0-5 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Kazincbarcika manager Z. Vitelki faced defeat when travelling to Nyíregyháza Spartacus and losing 0-1.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Győri ETO was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Kazincbarcika in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Kazincbarcika, one draw and one defeat.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kazincbarcika manager Z. Vitelki as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Sarbogard.

Kazincbarcika are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 5 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Kazincbarcika have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
