The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Paksi SE form and stats

As the visiting team in NB 1 matches, Paksi SE have produced an overall stat of 1-1-3 so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Paksi SE are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

It's the second away game in a row for Paksi SE, but there's smiles all around after the 7-1 victory versus Salgotarjani BTC in the Hungarian Cup last time out. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Diósgyőr.

As mentioned above, Paksi SE was the only team on the pitch versus Salgotarjani BTC in their previous game, winning 7-1. This could be a tougher task.

Paksi SE are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

Paksi SE find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 6 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. Paksi SE have conceded 9 goals in these games.
