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, Diósgyőr in 6th and Debrecen in 8th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Diósgyőr and Debrecen.
Debrecen are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Diósgyőr form and stats
The story so far in the NB 1 for Diósgyőr at their home stadium (Diósgyőri Stadion) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
Diósgyőr drew their last game, 2-2 away at Puskás (placed 4th). Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Kaposvári Rákóczi.
The hometeam coach T. Feczkó made a successful contribution in the game against Puskás, bringing on G. Molnár who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.
This is expected to be a close game, with Diósgyőr perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Diósgyőr as a small favourite), we find four games. Diósgyőr has won two of these, drawn zero and lost two.
The Diósgyőr fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. On the other hand, Diósgyőr have conceded 12 goals.
Debrecen form and stats
Debrecen have only collected 7 points from their away games in the NB 1, after 2-1-5 (8 played).
There were no winners in Debrecen's previous match, a NB 1 home game that ended 1-1 vs MOL Vidi (placed 2nd). Before that, Debrecen travelled to Puskás and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Debrecen playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Debrecen wins, one draw and four defeats.
Debrecen have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Debrecen have conceded 15 goals in their away games.
