Diósgyőr form and stats

Diósgyőr's first Merkantil Bank Liga home game here at Diósgyőri Stadion ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 14 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats from 19 matches.

A good away victory last time out for Diósgyőr, who won 2-1 against Tiszakecske (placed 17th).

Preceding that match was the home game against Soroksár SC that was lost 1-2.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Diósgyőr's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 5 matches, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Early season league goal statistics from Diósgyőr's 1 home game: 1 goal, 2 conceded.

Ajka form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Merkantil Bank Liga ended in defeat. Last season Ajka had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 5, drew 2 and lost 12.

Impressive finishing from Gaál, Szarka (2) and Jagodics secured the home win 4-2 against Kozarmisleny in their previous game. A mental fixture with an abundance of goals last time out for Ajka, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that match, will this fixture be as full of joy?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against MTE 1904 wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

A quick return to home after this game, as Ajka are hosting Csákvári TK in the Merkantil Bank Liga only four days away.

Ajka have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last two meetings: one - one - zero (Diósgyőr wins - draws - Ajka wins). As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
