Szolnoki MÁV form and stats

Overall Merkantil Bank Liga stats at home this season for Szolnoki MÁV are 4-0-1 (wins-draw-losses).

Szolnoki manager J. Csábi and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Vasas (placed 12th) in the Merkantil Bank Liga. Preceding that match was the home game against Szeged 2011 that was lost 0-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Szolnoki have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn two and lost four.

The Szolnoki fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Szolnoki are not conceding a lot of goals here at Tiszaligeti Stadion in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 3 from 5 matches.

Ajka form and stats

Things could have gone better for Ajka in their Merkantil Bank Liga away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Ajka has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It's the second away game in a row for Ajka, but there's smiles all around after the 5-0 victory versus Maroshegy in the Hungarian Cup last time out. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Siófok in the Merkantil Bank Liga.

As mentioned above, Ajka was the only team on the pitch versus Maroshegy in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ajka playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were one Ajka win, zero draws and one defeat.

Ajka are a potent attacking force on the road with their 8 goals in 3 league games. The Ajka manager K. Kis has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Szolnoki, one draw and two wins for Ajka. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
