Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Debrecen in 8th and Honvéd in 5th place.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Hungarian Cup. That game was also an away game, at Monori SE. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
