Kazincbarcika form and stats

With 1 Merkantil Bank Liga win, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Kazincbarcika are certainly not brimming with confidence. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Kazincbarcika, their manager Z. Vitelki and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Stress levels are on the rise for Kazincbarcika's attacking players as they have now played 266 minutes without scoring in a league game. L. Toth was their last goal scorer.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Erdi VSE (0-3).

The manager Z. Vitelki will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Siófok in only four days.

The lack of attacking qualities in Kazincbarcika means that they have only scored 3 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Kazincbarcika have conceded 11 from these games.

The supporters enjoyed Debrecen's previous game versus Győri ETO (placed 16th), a Merkantil Bank Liga 3-0 win played at home. Preceding that game was the away Hungarian Cup victory against BVSC with the score of 1-0.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Békéscsaba in just four days.
